The Verify Ontario app ended June 24, 2022.
The app is no longer available in the Google Play and Apple app stores. If you still have a downloaded version of the app, it will not scan QR codes and is no longer supported with updates.
Overview
Ontario no longer requires businesses and organizations to check proof of vaccination to enter settings.
Some businesses and organizations may choose to require proof of vaccination upon entry.
All requirements or policies must comply with all applicable privacy laws, including the Ontario Human Rights Code. Businesses or organizations considering creating their own additional requirements may wish to consult a lawyer.
About proof of vaccination
Ontarians who are vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine can download a vaccine certificate with QR code. A vaccine certificate can serve as:
- a personal health record
- proof of vaccination when entering businesses and organizations that choose to require proof of vaccination or when traveling within Canada and abroad
