Canada’s Border To Open August 9 To Fully Vaccinated American Travelers



Save the date. Canadian officials announced today that the border with the United States will begin reopening next month to fully vaccinated American citizens and permanent residents, more than 16 months after closing to non-essential travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic. pg slot auto

“As a first step, starting August 9, 2021, Canada plans to begin allowing entry to American citizens and permanent residents, who are currently residing in the United States, and have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to entering Canada for non-essential travel,” according to a statement. “This preliminary step allows for the Government of Canada to fully operationalize the adjusted border measures ahead of September 7, 2021, and recognizes the many close ties between Canadians and Americans.”

The decision and timeline was expected. Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told provincial leaders that the government was planning to open the border to vaccinated U.S. travelers weeks before a broader re-opening to vaccinated travelers from other countries.

To enter Canada, travelers must use the government’s ArriveCAN “vaccine passport” app, which allows travelers to upload passport information as well as Covid-19 vaccination records and PCR test results. Fully vaccinated residents of other countries will be able to enter Canada beginning September 7, “provided that Canada’s Covid-19 epidemiology remains favorable.”

It is unclear when the United States will allow Canadians to enter across the land border for nonessential travel. It is also not clear when unvaccinated and partially vaccinated U.S. residents will be able to visit Canada.
