Traveling between New Zealand and Canada
(info drafted as of early Jan 2021)
When contemplating any travel between New Zealand and Canada you will want to be certain that you are right up to date with all the requirements and rule changes that will be applicable on your travel date. The following is designed to provide you with some insight, guidance and advice on staying informed.
Rules are changing and flights are being canceled frequently around the world – do not be complacent and think Canada/US to NZ will not be hit.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: The responsibility is yours and yours alone to ensure you do not have stale or inaccurate information. After all, it will be you that will be off to the airport to travel, not someone else, and you who won’t want to be one of many unprepared, or surprised and sorely disappointed travelers, that get turned back before their journey even gets underway.
Don’t just take someone’s word for it, or ours, be vigilant and check, re-check and check again… and then check it all over again!!!
Links and acronym definitions will be provided to assist you in interpreting this write up of a journey to the South or North.

Kia Ora and Seasons Greetings after what has been a tough year for us all in Canada and right across the world. No doubt we are all wondering when we will be able to see our extended families and travel again. I trust that you were all able to take a small break over Christmas and the New Year period.

Happy New Year 2021!
Well, 2020 was a bit of a dud, the COVID-19 pandemic has put our lives on hold for the good part of a year so far. As we move into 2021, we look towards a brighter future and hopefully the return of some our regular events as the year progresses.
