Canada

Projected dates vary per province –

Atlantic Canada

Thanks to a new “travel bubble” rule, residents from Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P.E.I. can travel freely between the four maritime provinces without needing to self-isolate upon entry. However, each of the provinces has its own specific rules as to who is allowed to enter, forms that may need to be filled out and required ID. Detailed specific requirements for each of the four provinces can be found in this article or on each province’s website.

Aside from residents of Atlantic Canada, most Canadians are not presently allowed entry into Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and P.E.I. unless they fall within specific exceptions that differ for each province. The one exception is Nova Scotia, which is allowing Canadian travelers entry with the requirement that they must self-isolate for 14 days upon entry to the province (read more about Nova Scotia’s rules on its website)

Quebec

Most travel restrictions have been lifted (though travel to the Cree Territory of James Bay and Nunavik is still limited) and there are no self-isolation requirements for Canadian residents. Read more here.

Ontario

Ontario has no inter-provincial travel restrictions. General Covid-19 Ontario information is available on the website.

Manitoba

Manitoba is the only province outside of Atlantic Canada (and the Territories) with domestic coronavirus travel restrictions. Travel is permitted but anyone arriving in the province is required to self-isolate for 14-days. However, there are some specific exceptions for northwestern Ontario and British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Details can be found on this website.

Saskatchewan

Currently the province has no domestic travel restrictions. More information here.

Alberta

Though non-essential travel is not advised, Alberta presently has no inter-provincial domestic travel restrictions. More info here.

British Columbia

The province has no domestic travel restrictions. More info can be found here.

Yukon

Canadian travelers can enter the territory but must self-quarantine for 14 days in Whitehorse. However, essential workers and residents from the Yukon, British Columbia, Northwest Territories or Nunavut are exempt. For more information, visit the province’s website.

Northwest Territories

With few exceptions (read about exceptions here) only residents of NWT and Nunavut are allowed to enter the province but they still must self-isolate for 14 days (unless they are traveling directly from either territory due to the Common Travel area rule.

Furthermore, the government states that: “travellers arriving in the NWT must mandatorily self-isolate for 14 days in Yellowknife, Inuvik, Hay River or Fort Smith only. NWT residents cannot self-isolate in a small community or other regional centre other than the four listed communities if they have returned from outside the NWT. This is a measure to avoid overwhelming health centres in small remote communities and ensure those exposed to COVID-19 are close a well-equipped hospital care.”

More information about exceptions to the travel rules and other details are available on the website and here.

Nunavut

Most non-Nunavut residents are banned from entering the territory aside from a few exceptions. Recently, a Common Travel Area was established between Nunavut and the Northwest Territories so residents of those Territories can travel freely without quarantining if they have not been outside their respective territory for two weeks prior to entry. Before travelers from NWT can enter Nunavut, they must complete and sign the NU and NWT Traveller’s Declaration form.

Otherwise, NU residents entering from the rest of Canada are subject to a mandatory 14-day isolation period that will take place outside of the territory in either Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton or Yellowknife.

United States for Canadians

The date has been pushed back till August 21st

Though the date has been pushed back there’s a major loophole, according to The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, the order does not apply to “air, rail, or sea travel at this time, but does apply to car travel, commuter rail and ferry travel.”

Spain

Spain will welcome foreign tourists back to the country from July 1, ending its two-week quarantine policy. It remains to be seen whether Canada will make you quarantine upon your return.

Iceland

Iceland has said it will reopen its borders to foreign tourists on June 15, though there’s a catch: Visitors will either have to agree to be tested for COVID-19 or self-quarantine for two weeks.

United Kingdom

Beginning June 8, travelers can enter the UK, but they must provide contact information and self-isolate for 14 days, or face fines.

Australia

Not for at least three more months – and even then it might only be other Pacific islanders and international students

China

The country where the pandemic began in December briefly reopened its borders to non-citizens before closing them again in late March due to an influx of new cases. It has not said when it plans to relax those restrictions.

Greece

Greece will allow direct international flights to Athens starting June 15
