Canadian officials have charged two American travelers and fined them 20,000 Canadian dollars each - around $16,000 USD - for providing fake COVID-19 vaccination documents. The unnamed travelers arrived from the U.S. in Canada the week of July 18. Officials from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) fined each traveler four times for a total of 19,720 CAD per traveler. Canada instituted travel requirements in January that any incoming traveler must provide a negative COVID test before boarding a plane. The agency also stressed that all travelers are obligated to answer questions truthfully and providing false information is a serious offense.
