Is Canada removing COVID restrictions?
It is disappointing that the United States has not reciprocated the Government of Canada’s decision to end all COVID-related travel restrictions. This means that Canadians are still not able to travel freely to the United States. We hope that the United States will reconsider its position and lift its travel restrictions so that Canadians can once again travel freely to our closest neighbour.

Conclusion
Yes, travel restrictions have been lifted in Canada.
There are many different factors to consider when determining whether or not travel restrictions should be lifted in Canada. The safety of Canadians is always the top priority, so any decision to lift restrictions would need to be made with that in mind. Additionally, the government would need to be confident that the lifted restrictions would not lead to a second wave of infections. With all of this in mind, it is difficult to say when exactly travel restrictions might be lifted in Canada.
