Canada announced on January 28 that the pre-departure PCR test requirement would be lifted for travelers arriving in Canada through direct or indirect flights from Morocco and India, Canada’s government said in the press release.
Moroccan travelers, however, will still be required to provide a negative PCR test before entering Canada, specified the press release.
Previously, travelers were required to provide proof of a negative PCR test result carried out within 72 hours before the scheduled departure, or a positive PCR test result carried out between 11 and 180 days before departure, issued by the Moroccan government.
Additionally, Moroccan travelers via an indirect route (transit) to Canada used to take another PCR test carried out within 72 hours before their last flight to their destination.
This last condition is no longer required, and Moroccan travelers are not required to take another PCR test.
They must provide only one negative PCR test carried out within 72 hours of their flight, or a positive result to this type of test carried out between 11 and 180 days before the planned departure to Canada. This decision takes effect starting from January 28.
Canada’s government added that fully vaccinated travelers can access the country, noting that the vaccination status is considered complete when the individual has completed at least two shots of an approved vaccine, including AstraZeneca/Covishield, Bharat Biotech/Covaxin, Janssen/Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinopharm, Sinovac, a mixture of two accepted vaccines, or at least a single shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to the same source.
