Vacation Travel Assistance – Effective October 1, 2022

Effective October 1, 2022

Important Notice: Departments will add 5% GST and/or applicable Provincial or Territorial (or HST) to the VTA dollar amount below.

Clarification on the child fare
Most airlines now provide a child fare for children aged 2 to 11 years old rather than 2 to 12 years old as indicated in the IPGHD. As such, the child fares below apply for children who are 11 years old or younger. As indicated in subsection 3.6.2, children under age 2 receive the child VTA rate upon proof of airfare ticket purchase.

For VTA rates effective prior to April 1, 2020, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/terms-conditions-employment/isolated-posts-government-housing.html
