Amateur athletes exempt from Canada’s Covid-19 travel restrictions!

To be eligible, foreign amateur athletes must be taking part in an international single sporting event and must be affiliated with a sports organization. For example, a weightlifter from the U.S. should be affiliated with USA Weightlifting. Foreign nationals who are carrying out an essential role as part of the event must also be affiliated with a sports organization

In addition, both amateurs and support personnel will need a letter of authorization from the Deputy Minister of Canadian Heritage. This letter will serve as proof that they are participating in the event.
