Re-entry as a PR holder from Pakistan and a 'fully vaccinated traveller'

[245east84]

I am a Canadian PR holder who has lived in Canada for a year and was visiting my native Pakistan for the past year. I will re-enter Canada in March 2022. I have had two doses of the Sinovac vaccine (not recognized in Canada) and two doses of the Pfizer vaccine (recognized in Canada) all in Pakistan. I have the official proof from the government of Pakistan for all the Pfizer vaccines which I will upload on ArriveCan. I will also take a pre-entry molecular test before I board the flight to Canada and I'll upload that too. Has anyone re-entered Canada with two Pfizer doses? Did you face any issues especially if you were coming from the 'third world' countries or was your proof of vaccine accepted?

Will a Pfizer double dose administered (with govt proof) in a developing country be accepted on re-entry?

I am confused... it's always 2 doses of Pfizer to considered as fully vaccinated. (well they are talking about yet an additional dose)

I am not sure which country's official record do they accept or not.

If you are a PR, and enter with a valid PR card, you will be allowed into Canada.
The vaccine proof is only to allow no quarantine after your arrival.
(if they do not accept your vaccine proof, then you need to quarantine for 14 days)

Can only suggest you try to check government websites or contact CBSA. YOu might also see if the arrivecan app has any updated info.

Anecdotally haven't heard many cases of the country where the vaccination was done being an issue, but that they are following up (at least in some rare cases) where they believed the vaccine proof had been faked - they're treating that seriously (serious fines and potentially criminal charges).

Worst case if they don't accept your (real) vaccination documentation is be prepared to do quarantine.

You will need a quarantine plan despite fully vaccinated.

Very hard to predict what the requirement will be 6 months from now.
