Four of the top five Canadian banks are taking a stricter stance with their return-to-office policies, requiring that workers be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before coming back to company buildings, while the fifth is moving in the same direction.

Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Bank of Montreal on Friday joined other major financial firms in requiring returning staff to be fully vaccinated. All Toronto-Dominion employees will be asked to register their vaccination status by Sept. 30, according to a memo sent to staff Friday. As of Nov. 1, full vaccination will be required of staffers working in all company locations globally, a spokesman for the Toronto-based bank said.
