The Canadian federal government announced today that it hopes to release by early Fall, a digital “proof of vaccination” credential that can be used by Canadians to verify their COVID-19 vaccination status for international travel. The government is working with provincial and territorial governments to develop the federal program.
“We fully support the federal government’s on-going engagement with provincial and territorial authorities to develop a standardized vaccination credential, and encourage all levels of government to work as effectively as possible to meet an early fall release date. Proof of vaccination is going to be a critical component of international travel and recovery of the travel and tourism sector”, said Mike McNaney, President and CEO of the National Airlines Council of Canada which represents Canada’s largest carriers (Air Canada, Air Transat, Jazz Aviation LP and WestJet).
