For those who plan to travel outside the province of Quebec in the near future, the provincial government has just introduced a new digital proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
According to a report by CTV News Montreal, this new proof will have a QR code, and can be used when travelling across Canada, as well as a number of American states and countries from around the world. As well, Quebecers will be encouraged to continue using their original digital vaccination proof for places around the province that use it as a requirement for entry.
To obtain this provincial travel proof of vaccination, go to the Government of Quebec website, where it can be downloaded. Applicants will be asked to give their name, date of birth and the date of their first vaccine dose. Once that’s completed, the new QR code can be downloaded for use while travelling. It will contain their two-dose information in both English and French.

CTV News Montreal reported that the federal government is also introducing their own proof of vaccination for international travel. As of October 30, all those who plan to travel by plane or train must have this proof that they are fully vaccinated. However, there will be a grace period that will run until November 30, in which travelers who haven’t yet received their second doses, can instead show a negative test result within 72 hours prior to their departure.
