Greetings to Our Canadian Visitors

For Canadian Travelers Crossing the US Border into Montana and Returning to Canada

Central Montana is excited to welcome our neighbors to the north for a getaway! This is a great time for a weekend or week long getaway to our 13 county Central Montana region.

Beginning April 1, fully vaccinated travelers entering Canada will not be required to complete a pre-entry COVID-19 test. Fully vaccinated travelers still may be randomly selected for testing upon arrival but they will not be required to quarantine while awaiting the results. But for travelers who are not fully vaccinated, molecular testing still will be required upon arrival. They will also be required to quarantine for 14 days and be tested a second time on Day 8.
