TRAVELLING TO THE UNITED STATES? IMPORTANT HEALTH UPDATE FOR CANADIANS!
A new U.S. health declaration requirement takes effect on November 3, 2026, in response to an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Canadian travellers are also affected by this measure.
The declaration concerns recent travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo within the previous 21 days.
What should you know?
A signed health declaration may be required before boarding.
This is not a mandatory routine Ebola test for every traveller.
Knowingly providing false information may result in fines or even imprisonment.
In this new episode of Erika's Travel Tips, we explain the requirements and what Canadian travellers should check before departure.
