The federal government is leaning toward dropping the vaccine requirement for people entering Canada — ending random COVID-19 testing at airports — and making the use of the ArriveCan app optional by the end of this month, a senior government source told CBC News.
While multiple sources said Ottawa is “likely” to drop these mandatory requirements by Sept. 30, they added that the proposal has not been given a final sign-off by the prime minister.
Sept. 30 is the date the current COVID-19 Emergency Order-in-Council relating to border measures ends. Ottawa can renew that emergency order, amend it, or let it lapse on that date.
