Dream now – travel later
Yukon is worth the wait
We know you don’t like being cooped up at home – we don’t like it either – but now is not the time to travel. Stay at home and stay safe. The Yukon isn’t going anywhere, and it’s worth the wait.
All non-essential travel into and out of the Yukon suspended
In an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 and to protect Yukon’s most vulnerable citizens, Yukon’s Chief Medical Officer of Health strongly advises the suspension of all non-essential travel into and out of the Yukon.
In view of the need to protect remote areas with limited medical resources, Yukon’s Chief Medical Officer of Health strongly advises the suspension of any non-essential travel to Yukon’s rural communities.
Self-isolation required for all travellers
- All travellers arriving into Canada and/or the Yukon are required to self-isolate for 14 days. This includes anyone arriving by road or air, whether they be visitors or Yukoners returning home.
- The Yukon government is putting mechanisms in place to monitor and ensure travellers are self-isolating.
Additional travel restrictions
- International flight arrivals to Canada are being accepted at the following four airports: Vancouver International (YVR), Calgary International (YYC), Toronto Pearson International (YYZ), and Montreal-Pierre Elliot Trudeau International (YUL).
- Canada has closed the border to foreign nationals, with some exceptions such as air crews and diplomats. Please contact Canada Border Service Agency at 1-833-784-4397 with any questions.
- Airlines are now mandated to prevent all travellers who present symptoms of COVID-19 to board a plane at point of origin, meaning anyone who has symptoms will not be able to come to Canada.
- Canada and the United States are temporarily restricting all non-essential travel across its borders to limit the spread of COVID-19. This is a precautionary measure, in line with the directions on physical distancing that are being given by health officials across the country. Discretionary, recreational and tourist travel between Canada and the US are no longer allowed, including Yukon–Alaska border crossings.
