Travellers who are entering Canada for exempt essential travel will be able to save time by entering their mandatory information into ArriveCAN once and using the same ArriveCAN receipt for each entry.

Truck drivers will only need to resubmit their ArriveCAN information if a border services officer determines that they are not travelling for exempt/essential travel, if their history changes or if their trip is for non-essential/discretionary purposes.

Entering information 72-hours prior to crossing the border is also no longer required, as drivers can now submit their information at any time before crossing the border. The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) has continued to work closely with the Government of Canada to increase uptake of the ArriveCAN app, by making the platform more user and operationally friendly for the industry.
