Travel FAQ
I already had COVID-19 in my home province. Do I still have to quarantine (self-isolate) in Nova Scotia?
Due to the circulating variants, a previously positive COVID-19 case does not exempt you from quarantine. Quarantine requirements have recently changed to reflect your vaccination status. Please visit the Government of Nova Scotia for further details.
I already had COVID-19 in my home country. Do I still need to quarantine (self-isolate) in Canada?
Due to the circulating variants, a previously positive COVID-19 case does not exempt you from quarantine. Quarantine requirements have recently changed to reflect your vaccination status. Please visit the Government of Nova Scotia for further details.
I'm travelling with a child under 18 years of age who is not vaccinated. Do we have to quarantine in a hotel?
If you are a fully vaccinated adult exempt from quarantine, those travelling with you can quarantine in your residence (home, apartment, hotel, etc.). Fully vaccinated adults can leave the residence and can bring food, supplies, etc. back to those who are in quarantine.
I'm having difficulties finding a test before my flight to Canada.
All travellers five years of age or older must provide proof of a negative laboratory test result for COVID-19 to the airline prior to boarding a flight to Canada. There are time-limited flexibilities for travellers departing from some countries in recognition of the need for testing systems to adjust.
I'm a returning student in a student exchange program. Who should I contact?
Students on exchange programs must notify Michael Holmes at michael.holmes@acadiau.ca when they arrive in Canada.
What about Acadia's faculty/staff travel health insurance?
Our travel health insurer, SSQ, will be covering all emergency medical expenses resulting from COVID-19 for those travelling outside of Canada. Please note that costs associated with mandatory COVID-19 testing are not covered. Read the latest update for more information.
Remember that in all countries affected by the coronavirus, any directives issued by the local government and public safety authorities will supersede those of SSQ's assistance service. As a result, access to health care may be limited.
For more information, please contact your SSQ Insurance account manager or Human Resources.
