ArriveCan
ArriveCAN
is a mobile app and online platform used by travellers to enter Canada.
ArriveCAN was created by the Government of Canada to facilitate the entry process for travellers, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The app and online platform were designed to collect important information from travellers before they arrive in Canada. This information is crucial for public health and safety, as it helps the Canadian government monitor and manage the potential spread of COVID-19.
Why do we need it?
What is the key purpose of the application?
-
The app allows travellers to provide information about their health status, including any symptoms of COVID-19. This information helps authorities identify individuals who may pose a risk and take appropriate measures.
-
By collecting contact information, the government can reach out to individuals if there are concerns about potential exposure to COVID-19. This supports contact tracing efforts to prevent further transmission.
-
ArriveCAN also serves as a platform for travellers to submit details about their travel plans and accommodations. This assists authorities in managing and coordinating responses to incoming travellers.
-
The app ensures that travellers are aware of and comply with entry requirements, including quarantine and testing protocols. This contributes to the overall effectiveness of public health measures.
