Travel advisory of Canada stated that, "This proof must be obtained in a third country before Indian travelers continue their journey to Canada. You might need to seek entry and stay in a third country for at least 14 days,"

It may be noted that recently Canada has revised its official travel advisory and said that it will not accept covid-19 molecular test reports from India.

Therefore, travellers will need to get themselves tested for coronavirus in a 'third country' before continuing to travel to Canada.

According to the advisory, passengers who have previously tested positive for the COVID-19 virus and are traveling from India to Canada will now have to provide proof of the coronavirus test.
