Reopening plan
HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin announced Tuesday, June 29th the province will move into Phase 3 of the government's five-step reopening plan, which eases numerous health orders, including on travel, restaurants and spas.
Phase 3 will include reopening the province's boundaries to travellers from the rest of Canada, beginning Wednesday, June 30th.
Travellers from outside Atlantic Canada will have to complete a check-in form and will be subject to isolation requirements based on their vaccination status and test results. Those who are fully vaccinated at least 14 days before their arrival in Nova Scotia won't have to self-isolate, while people with one dose will have to quarantine for at least seven days and will need two negative test results before leaving isolation.

All other travellers must register their travel at least five (5) days before their travel into New Brunswick. They must have confirmation from the New Brunswick Travel Registration Program prior to arriving.
It can take up to 5 business days for your application to be processed.
Screening of travellers from outside New Brunswick
All travellers will continue to be screened at airports and when entering New Brunswick from outside the Atlantic Provinces. Travellers will be asked for proof of province of residence, vaccination status, and isolation plans, depending on the category of entry. Providing this information will support Public Health’s tracing efforts in the event of a case or an outbreak of COVID-19. If you are planning to enter the province, please come prepared with the required documents for travel into New Brunswick.

Travel elsewhere in Canada
There are no preventive isolation measures for people arriving from other Canadian provinces. However, non-essential travel should be avoided.
Travel and Self-isolation
As per the public health order, 14 days of self-isolation (quarantine) is required for all individuals returning to or coming to Manitoba from all jurisdictions, unless the individual is exempt in the order from quarantine.
Individuals who travelled internationally must go into mandatory self-isolation (quarantine) for the remainder of their 14 days from the date of arrival to Canada upon arriving in Manitoba, unless the individual is exempt in the order from quarantine. The days in self-isolation (quarantine) at port of entry count towards the 14 day period.
All travellers who are not exempt from quarantine are strongly advised get two COVID-19 tests -- one on the day of arrival, and another on the 10th day after arriving in Manitoba no matter if they are showing symptoms, and whether they are visiting Manitoba or are returning from out of the country. International travellers must follow federal testing and self-isolation (quarantine) requirements.

Regardless of whether you arrive at the Calgary International Airport or via the Coutts land-border crossing, all non-exempt travellers returning to or entering Alberta from outside Canada are legally required to follow federal travel restrictions and must comply with the following steps.
