Is there any required vaccinations to land in Canada with COPR?

[goldfinger]

I'm asking because I had to get all sorts of vaccinations when I immigrated to the United States. Does my spouse need to get any vaccinations before arriving with her COPR? The health exam didn't seem to mention anything of the sorts.

Let me know. Thanks!

edit - I should clarify - I’m talking about stuff like MMR, TDAP, Hepatitis A and B vaccines, etc.

Not necessarily. But if you're fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved by Canada (and, 14 days since the second dose), then you don't need to do the mandatory 3-day hotel quarantine.

I do not believe required to land but may be required for some jobs, school, etc.

At any rate highly recommended to see a doctor and get all standard Canadian vaccinations in die course. If you spouse has a record of vaccinations, should bring with to Canada.

Nothing is required to land but as @armoured said might be required for other things once here so bring a record if you have it.

I'd just add - really worth seeing a doctor about it when in Canada. Some of the diseases prevalent in other countries are different than those in Canada (or strains), etc, and the vaccines have changed over time, too.

Plus some that may be less commonly vaccinated against in other countries can be more dangerous to adults (i.e. prime immigration age).

I mean, we'll set her up with a doctor and a physical as soon as she gets her health card. She's from the states so the disease profile is pretty similar to Canada.

Shouldn't be an issue then.
