Ontario’s new proof of vaccination requirements for the QR code that can be scanned took effect this week.
Individuals who are visiting places that require proof that they’re vaccinated against COVID-19 must have the enhanced vaccine certificate with the QR code to be scanned by the Verify Ontario app.
A piece of identification is still needed as well.
The certificate with the QR code can be downloaded at https://covid-19.ontario.ca/

While it can be added to your smartphone to easily access, it can also be printed. Businesses must accept a digital or paper copy.
Proof of vaccination is required for certain high-risk, indoor settings such as restaurants, bars, gyms, cinemas, gaming establishments.
A QR code will also be needed for medical exemptions and clinical trial exemptions. As of January 10th, physician notes will no longer be accepted under the new proof-of-vaccination system.
Enhanced vaccine passport now the law
