Travellers must be able to show their ArriveCAN recei...pt to a border services officer at point of entry. Travellers who do not submit the required information digitally before boarding their flight could be subject to enforcement action, which can range from verbal warnings to C$1000 fine. Passengers are also reminded to fill out any additional forms that may be required at port of entry and keep them in their passport for submission.

PRESS RELEASE 2020 October 18 BI to implement eased departure travel restrictions, arrival restrictions still in place MANILA, Philippines--Following the resolution of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging... Infectious Diseases, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) announced that it will be implementing eased departure restrictions for Filipino citizens. "Starting October 21, the BI will be allowing the departure of Filipinos with non-essential travel," said BI Commissioner Jaime Morente. Initially, only foreign nationals, overseas Filipino workers, permanent visa holders, students enrolled abroad, participants accepted in exchange visitor programs, as well as those who had essential travel, were allowed to depart. The new ruling, however, expands this to include non-essential travel. "Outbound tourism is now allowed for Filipinos, subject to compliance with protocols set by the IATF," said Morente. IATF Resolution no. 79 requires outbound Filipino tourists to present a round trip ticket, health and travel insurance, and a negative antigen result at least 24 hours before departure. However, according to the ruling, if the country of destination requires an RT-PCR test, then the same must be presented instead. Departing Filipinos shall also be required to sign a declaration acknowledging the risks of their travel, to be provided by airline check-in counters. "Afterwhich, passengers will still undergo regular immigration assessment," said Morente. Morente clarified that inbound restrictions are still in place. "We are on standby for any changes in policy, as directed by the IATF and the President," he stated. Currently, only Filipinos, their spouse and minor children are allowed to enter the country holding tourist visas. Restrictions allow foreign children with special needs of Filipinos, foreign parent of minor Filipinos, and foreign parent of Filipino children with special needs to enter the country. Those who are eligible to enter are required to secure an entry visa from Philippine embassies or consulates, prior to their arrival. Apart from said categories, accredited foreign government and international organization officials and their dependents, foreign airline crewmembers, foreign seafarers with 9(c) visas, and foreigners with long-term visas are also allowed See more
