FINALLY READY TO TRAVEL ABROAD? RETURNING HOME 🏠 CAN GET COMPLICATED.

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Many Canadians were forced to shelve their upcoming vacations when the pandemic first hit.

Two years later, as March break approaches, and with COVID-19 restrictions lifting, a number of people are anxious to resurrect those long-awaited travel plans. 

Canadian-based travel agency Flight Centre said bookings for trips departing from Canadian airports in March have spiked by more than 700 per cent compared to bookings the same time last year. 

But with the pandemic far from over, travellers still face a spate of rules when returning to Canada, including providing PCR test results to re-enter the country and the chance of being randomly selected for another PCR test upon arrival.

And the process has only become more complicated due to the spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant.
