Accessibility notice

ArriveCAN is available online on the web and as a free mobile app downloadable from the Google Play or Apple App stores. All ArriveCAN versions meet Government of Canada accessibility standards and W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA international standard. They fully support the use of assistive technologies such as screen readers and magnifiers.

Enter your traveller information

Before submitting the details of your trip, you need to enter information for all travellers in your group. You can provide information for up to 8 travellers, including yourself in a single submission.

To complete your profile, you need a travel document (passport or Canadian permanent resident card). You can scan the document or enter the information manually. You must use the same travel document upon arrival.

Save your traveller information

By using the "saved traveller profile" feature on the app, your travel document information is kept on a secure server linked to your sign-in account.

The "saved traveller profile" feature is voluntary. By saving basic information about you and other travellers in your group, you do not have to enter it each time you make a new declaration. The "saved traveller profile" feature will save you some time.

You will need to re-create your profile if your information changes. And you will still need to enter the specific details about your trip each time you travel to Canada.

Any profile you complete for others in your travel party will be linked to your sign-in account. You can remove your profile or theirs at any time. Removing profiles will not cause records to be deleted.
