Common travel area re-opened with Churchill

Unvaccinated travellers from Churchill must complete a Common Area Traveller’s Declaration form and send it to cphotravelrequests@gov.nu.ca. They also must wear masks in public spaces and observe physical distancing for the duration of their return trip.
Unvaccinated Nunavummiut who enter Churchill on exemption to live, work, study or for compassionate reasons and wish to return to Nunavut must also complete a Common Area Traveller’s Declaration form and send it to cphotravelrequests@gov.nu.ca.
Nunavummiut travelling to Churchill will be subject to the region’s public health measures and will have to get tested prior to travel or after arrival in Churchill.
Travellers who are unvaccinated will be subject to new federal travel rules.
Note, the Government of Nunavut is not providing testing for travel purposes.

Vaccinated travellers with a vaccinated traveller exemption are not required to obtain a common travel declaration but may need to provide a Proof of Vaccine Certificate at the airport to comply with new federal rules.
