Canada getting COVID-19 vaccine passport for international travel | FULL

Canada is getting a vaccine passport for international travel, Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino announced on Wednesday.

“We are working actively with the provinces and territories on a secure, pan-Canadian proof of vaccination for international travel,” he said.

The vaccine certificate will be common across all provinces, and will include the holder’s vaccination history, the date they got it, the type of jab they received and the location where they received their shot. It will be available to all citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents living in Canada who are fully vaccinated.

Mendicino made the announcement alongside the President of the Queen’s Privy Council Dominic LeBlanc and Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra.

And while the passport is being crafted with international travel in mind, the federal government is happy to work with the provinces to use it as a domestic proof-of-vaccination tool, too, ministers said.
