Are masks still mandatory for Canadian bound flights?

[jonikal]

Now that the Covid testing is no longer required at the border, and the ArrCAN process is also not needed, are masks still required when flying into and around Canada, and if so, is it enforced on a non-Canadian carrier?

I know everyone loves Canada but we don't control individual airlines.  You will have to check with the airline you are flying to determine if they require it or not.

Canada no longer requires masks on flights. But, as implied, you need to check with the airline involved to determine their requirements.

Obviously highly recommended but not required at this time. 

 

Was on a WestJet flight flight today and the crew were all wearing masks.  About the half the ground staff and perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 the passengers.   

 

Some foreign airlines may have requirements imposed by their home country or corporate policy as well.

That is excellent news, thank you!  We spent a very long day from 4 am in St Johns, via Toronto and on to Tampa arriving at 2 pm.  Just happy that rules are loosening up a bit.
