Yeah, that wasn't confirmed, though. The prime minister refused to confirm it even yesterday. But now it's been announced.

This is the best news I've gotten in awhile!  Boarding Encore on Sunday and was super stressed about the COVID testing.

The official Government of Canada announcement is at https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/news/2022/09/government-of-canada-to-remove-covid-19-border-and-travel-measures-effective-october-1.html

 

In there, it states:

Cruise measures are also being lifted, and travellers will no longer be required to have pre-board tests, be vaccinated, or use ArriveCAN. A set of guidelines will remain to protect passengers and crew, which will align with the approach used in the United States.
