TORONTO (Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms) – The Justice Centre filed a lawsuit today in the Federal Court of Canada, on behalf of 11 Canadians either fined for not using the ArriveCAN and/or ordered to quarantine for 14 days after returning home from abroad.
The Applicants involved in this legal challenge have received fines of up to $8,500 each and been forced to disclose private medical information via ArriveCAN. The legal challenge seeks to strike down the mandatory use of ArriveCAN and declare unconstitutional the 14-day quarantine requirements for Canadians who refuse to use ArriveCAN when returning home.
ArriveCan was initially implemented in April 2020 to force Canadian citizens returning home to submit quarantine plans due to Covid. It was mandated for air travelers November 21, 2020. In February 2021, the federal government mandated ArriveCan for all land travelers, while the US-Canada land crossing was still closed. After the Covid vaccine rollouts, travelers were required to upload their vaccination certificates onto the ArriveCAN app.
