COVID-19 Restrictions Lifted 

The Government of Canada has announced the removal of all COVID-19 border restrictions for anyone entering Canada.

Effective October 1, 2022, all travellers regardless of citizenship, will no longer have to:

  • submit public health information through the ArriveCAN app or website
  • provide proof of vaccination 
  • undergo pre-or on-arrival testing
  • carry out COVID-19 related quarantine or isolatation
  • monitor and report if they develop signs or symptoms of COVID-19 upon arriving into Canada
  • Transport Canada is also removing the requirement to wear masks on planes or trains.  (While the masking requirement is being lifted, all travellers are strongly recommended to wear high quality and well-fitted masks during thier journey)

Although these changes are in place in Canada, there are still countries with various COVID-19 requirements.  Please check with your Uniglobe Travel Advisor for clarification on the rules based on your travel destination and make an informed decision when considering travelling outside of Canada.

There's An App For That

Here are a couple of great travel apps that might interest you when you are travelling on business or pleasure.

Best airport guide: FLIO

If you find yourself in an unfamiliar or large airport, FLIO can provide detailed information to get you to your plane on time. It features information on thousands of airports – including interactive maps that depict gates, baggage claims, lounges, restaurants and shops, and the best ways to get there (via bus, taxi or train).

You can also book access to lounges or a parking spot through FLIO, and receive updates on your flight status.

Download the free FLIO for iOS or get the FLIO Android app

 

Best for electronic signatures: DocuSign

DocuSign allows you to carry contracts and other important documents that need to be signed while on the go.

With DocuSign, you can draft legally binding documents that you – or others – sign from your smartphone or tablet. Rest assured these sensitive contracts are safe, as the app encrypts documents.

Complete the process electronically by forwarding the signed document to personnel to review and approve.

Download DocuSign for iOS or get the DocuSign Android app.

 

Best for scanning business cards: CamCard

CamCard provides an excellent way to collect and organize the information of contacts you’ll likely encounter while traveling for business. CamCard grabs their business card’s essential details and connects the data to your CRM software, making follow-up easy.

Download CamCard for iOS or get the CamCard Android app.
