Canada introduced temporary border measures effective July 20, 2026, in response to the Ebola disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Foreign nationals who had been in the DRC during the previous 21 days may be temporarily restricted from entering Canada.
Canadian citizens, permanent residents and registered Indians are exempt from the entry restriction. However, covered travellers who were recently in the DRC, Uganda or South Sudan may be subject to a health assessment and a 21-day quarantine requirement.
The Public Health Agency of Canada continues to describe the risk to the Canadian public as low. Travellers should review the latest federal guidance because the measures and end date may change.
