Canadians will soon be able to get vaccine passport for international travel

Canada’s Immigration Minister says fully vaccinated Canadians will soon be able to get a government document that will certify their covid-19 vaccine history for the purpose of international travel.

The document, expected to be ready by the fall, will be digital, with an option for those who can’t or don’t want a digital certificate.

It will include data on the type of vaccines received, the dates, and the location.

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the program has to be done in co-operation with provinces and territories because they have the data that is needed.
