Transit through Canada to US

[Pleasework89 47]

Do you have to be fully vaccinated to transit through Canada to the U.S.?

 

The layover is about 2-3 hours...same day flight. 

I got a really bad reaction to the first vaccine a while back and never got the second shot. 

 

Also, with the immigrant visa on their passport, does my spouse still need to get a transit visa on their passport? They come from a country that requires a visa to enter Canada...but I read somewhere that if they have a u.s. immigrant visa, they don't need a transit visa from Canada. 

 

We are traveling with our pet and Air Canada is one of the few airlines that allow us to have our dog with us in cabin...and as a result, most of the flight plans include connecting flight in Canada.

Your spouse will still require a transit visa if flying through Canada to the US. 

Not sure about the vaccination and transit. 

Safest bet would be to call the airline and ask them about vaccination status:
