The Canadian government has announced that it will be lifting travel restrictions for all non-essential travel. This is great news for Canadians who have been itching to travel outside of the country.<\/p>\n

No, as of now, Canada is not lifting any travel restrictions.<\/p>\n

Is Canada removing COVID restrictions? <\/h2>\n

The U.S. travel restrictions are a major inconvenience for Canadians who want to visit friends and family or take a vacation. The Canadian government has been putting pressure on the U.S. to lift the restrictions, but so far the U.S. has not budged.<\/p>\n

As of October 1, 2022, all COVID-19 border requirements, including vaccination, mandatory use of ArriveCAN, and any testing and quarantine or isolation requirements, will be lifted for all travellers entering Canada by land, air or sea. This means that travellers will no longer need to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test when entering the country. However, they may still be required to show a valid travel document, such as a passport, and may be subject to other border screening measures, such as questions about their travel history and plans.<\/p>\n

As of April 19, 2021, proof of COVID-19 vaccination is not required for travellers entering Canada. Pre-board testing is not required, except for travellers coming from the United Kingdom, where a COVID-19 pre-entry test is required. Quarantine after you enter Canada is not required. Using ArriveCAN is not required, but recommended.<\/p>\n

Can I travel to the US from Canada if I’m fully vaccinated? <\/h2>\n

As of January 2022, all inbound travelers seeking to enter the United States via land ports of entry or ferry terminals must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide related proof of vaccination. This rule applies to both essential and non-essential travelers. Vaccination requirements may change in the future, so please check back for updates. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping the United States safe.<\/p>\n

As of October 2020, all travellers coming from any country other than the US are required to take an arrival test and quarantine at a suitable place until they receive a negative Day 1 test result. This is to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
