    The SMART Health Card Verifier app works with our Alberta QR code. Awesome.

    Thank you Paul and Big G !!

    Hi, any idea why the Singapore VTL form does not accept the Ontario issued SMART Health QR code? I haven’t been able to apply for a VTP because of this for my travel in Dec. Any suggestions?

    Just returned from Europe . My BC vaccination pass was accepted everywhere as well as in Illinois and Nevada last month. I had no issue whatsoever.

    Can you recommend a reliably accurate source that describes what documents and/or tests that are required to travel to European countries ?
    I am travelling to Portugal and do not know if I need a Covid test to enter.
    Thanks.

      You do not need a test, just proof of vaccination. I entered Portugal Oct 5 with proof of BC vaccination and had no issues

    Just downloaded it and the Smart Health Card app doesn’t recognize the QR code. Doesn’t give me enough confidence about travelling to Singapour.

    Now all they need to do is remove the expensive PCR test before entry requirement and all will be well

    USA announced it will accept mixed vaccine, as 4 millions Canadians received mixed vaccine (mostly Pfizer + Moderna). Eventually, most other countries will accept mixed vaccines also once WHO formally recognizes it. Along with this Vaccine Passport, we Canadians should be one of the few countries to be able to travel abroad “freely” when the world opens up…..

    Now we need our government to get the rest of the world accepting mixed vaccinations, which plenty of Canadians ended up getting. A passport isn’t much good if it can’t be used.

    I’m not sure it works for traveling outside of Canada and the US yet. I have my certification from Quebec and tried to use it on the French health pass app and it wasn’t recognized (I also have the French EU pass, for reference)

    Interesting that you comment on being a BC resident and traveling abroad with your Canadian proof of vaccination, but BC isn’t included yet. I doubt our provincial ID will suffice.

      Hence, I look forward to getting mine when it becomes available to BC residents. Incidentally, BC provincial proofs already follow the Smart Health Card format so should be one of the more likelier ones to be accepted abroad.

        My BC vaccination record was accepted by 3 countries in Europe last month.

        Canada should stop requiring PCR tests, at least for those fully vaccinated. There are a lot of sketchy ‘labs’ around the world to issue negative results.

          The paper record or the QR code?

            Too bad it really represents segregation and discrimination.
