Proof of Vaccination for
Quebec Residents Golfing in Ontario
Dear golf industry stakeholders,

With the Province of Ontario's proof of vaccination requirement coming into effect this Wednesday, September 22 you may have questions on how to verify vaccination status for Quebec residents coming to Ontario to golf.

Patrons who are visitors to Ontario, including those from Quebec, will be required to show proof of being fully vaccinated and proof of identification to enter businesses.

To review the process for Ontario residents, please review Bulletin 52 or click here for the complete guidance document.
How to Verify Vaccination Status for Quebec Residents
Proof of vaccination will be accepted if the person’s name and date of birth (DOB) on their ID matches the Quebec Vaccine Passport. The Quebec Vaccine Passport may be presented using any one of these three methods:
Paper
You must match the name and DOB on a piece of ID to the vaccination receipt printout that verifies that the patron is fully vaccinated.
PDF on mobile device
You must match the name and DOB on a piece of ID to the pdf or screen shot on the patrons mobile device.
Vaxicode APP
You will need to download and install the Vaxicode Verif app (for businesses only) through the app store or google play onto a staff device, manager's device, or designated verification device.

To verify vaccination status, you need to scan the VaxiCode Barcode on the patrons mobile device with the Vaxicode Verif app to receive their status (red or green) along with certification from the Government of Québec indicating whether or not they can gain admittance to your facility.

Patrons verified through the Vaxicode Verif app will still need to present ID as part of the verification process and you must match the name on the ID to the name on the app.
Your Association continues to monitor Government announcements, seek clarification, and provide updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.  

Sincerely,
Eastern Ontario/Outaouais
