At this point in time, it is not.

I also presume that the Canadian or Ontario governments just don't consider this a priority right now, since they are still advising against travel. On the other hand, I believe it *can* be done, since Viking seems to be doing it individually for their prospective passengers (I know they're doing it for the U.S. at least.)

Right now you can't. Or at least is very difficult. If anyone finds a way, please share. What we didn't know back when we got those QR codes, is that they are not some piece of magic. Each one is of a specific type, containing specific information in a particular format, and they are not necessarily compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise kitty Posted January 20, 2022 #55 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I do know that a possible work around is traveling to France first, & staying long enough to go through their system with an approved pharmacy: https://parisbymouth.com/how-to-transform-your-american-vaccination-card-into-a-french-health-pass/ This pass would be acceptable under Norway's requirements things to keep in mind: 1. there is no guarantee (which is why I personally switched my cruise to Med. instead) 2. If your last shot (including boosters) is more than 6 months at when your traveling some countries won't accept... we will both be getting 4th shots about 4 weeks before we leave, otherwise we'd have trouble in Italy & a few other places. There's a good chance the U.S. will come up with an agreement with the E.U. by spring, but I'm not going to take the chance with final payment for our Norway cruise just weeks away. We'll be going to Croatia, Montenegro, Greece & Italy instead... very sad about Norway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've arranged 5 days pre cruise in Italy, & still have 4 nights to fill, trying to decide if we want to go the France route in order to secure our passes... it would be nice to have for the future, although I strongly suspect the U.S. will come up with some sort of arrangement this spring or summer. I hope your travel plans work out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
