Pandemic restrictions in Montreal: what you need to know

Almost all major COVID-19 restrictions will be easing in Montreal, Canada in the coming weeks, making it possible for the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) to offer the WFH 2022 World Congress in a hybrid format from May 8 to 11, 2022. You can attend Congress virtually and in person—and both options have a lot to offer participants.

For those thinking about taking advantage of all the benefits physical participation gives you, here’s a handy travel guide to help you decide.

If you’re a fully vaccinated traveller, Canada is open for business! To qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller, you must have received the necessary accepted vaccination doses within a certain timeframe, and if your proof of vaccination is not in English or French, you need a certified translation in either language.

By the end of March, all facilities in Montreal will be able to run at full capacity, social distancing will not be required, all restaurants will be open at full capacity, and there will be no vaccine passport requirement at any establishment.
