FIC Self-Isolation Questionnaire

FIC Self-Isolation Questionnaire

This questionnaire serves 2 purposes:
1) It is a form for students who are travelling to Canada soon.
2) It is a form for students who test positive for COVID-19.

Please see more information below:

**PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM AT LEAST 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL TO CANADA (OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE)**

VACCINATED TRAVELLER REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER CANADA:

Travellers 18 years or older must be fully vaccinated in order to enter Canada (and meet all other travel requirements for entering the country). Fully vaccinated travellers no longer require a valid pre-entry COVID test before entering Canada and no longer require a quarantine plan. Those who are 17 years or younger can also come to Canada fully vaccinated.

Travellers who meet the requirements for being fully vaccinated must complete ArriveCAN within 72 hours of their arrival to Canada and prepare their official vaccination documents. Beginning July 19th, 2022, after arriving in a Canadian airport, fully vaccinated travellers may receive an email within 15 minutes of completing their customs declaration stating that they have been randomly selected for a COVID-19 arrival test. If they are selected for the test, they must follow the instructions in the email and find the location nearest to them, make an appointment, and go to the clinic to complete the test. Alternatively, a home test may be done instead via a virtual appointment, but in-person appointments will be the fastest way to receive results. While waiting for results, travellers do not need to quarantine. However, if they test positive, they must self-isolate for 10 days.


UNVACCINATED TRAVELLER REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER CANADA:

Travellers who are 17 years or younger can still enter Canada if they are unvaccinated (i.e. not vaccinated, partially vaccinated, or vaccinated with a vaccine that is not yet approved in Canada), but they must meet all pre-arrival and post-arrival travel requirements.

Prior to arrival to Canada, unvaccinated travellers who are 17 years or younger must have a valid pre-entry test, an appropriate quarantine plan, complete ArriveCAN, and register for their Day 1 arrival test. Beginning July 19th, 2022, upon arrival to Canada, unvaccinated travellers will receive an email within 15 minutes of completing their customs declaration stating that they must complete two arrival tests - Day 1 test and Day 8 test. They will need to follow the instructions in the email and find the location nearest to them, make an appointment, and go to the clinic to complete the test. Alternatively, a home test may be done instead via a virtual appointment, but in-person appointments will be the fastest way to receive results as long as travellers are respecting their quarantine requirements. Unvaccinated travellers will complete 14 days of quarantine in their chosen accommodation. As long as the Day 1 arrival test results are negative, travellers continue to self-isolate. A final COVID-19 test is required on Day 8 of quarantine and must be completed via an in-person appointment or by a virtual appointment using a home test kit. Negative results are required to leave quarantine after 14 days have been completed. However, positive results require direction from Public Health Authorities for how to proceed. All people returning to, or arriving in, Canada from international destinations that are not eligible for quarantine exemptions are required to self-isolate for 14 days under the Quarantine Act. The above-mentioned are all legal requirements of all travellers and are enforceable by RCMP or local police with potential fines and imprisonment if not followed.
