Canada-USA Border Now Open for Fully Vaccinated Travelers

Canada has officially opened the Canada--United States border to visitors for the first time in over a year. Canada had closed its borders during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fully vaccinated United States citizens and permanent residents have been able to travel to the country since 12:01 a.m. Monday. Although the borders are officially reopened, travel across them is not without restrictions.  If you plan on visiting Canada, you will have to submit proof of vaccination to the Canadian government's ArriveCAN digital platform at least 72 hours ahead of your arrival in the country, regardless of whether you are traveling by car or plane. In other words, you will need to be fully vaccinated to cross the border into Canada, with your last shot administered at least 14 days before your anticipated arrival. If you plan on visiting Canada with a child who is under the age of 12 and cannot yet receive the vaccine, they can enter with you so long as you are fully vaccinated and otherwise eligible to cross the border. If you have health conditions that make you unable to receive the vaccine you can apply to enter the country with specific quarantine and testing requirements determined by the Canadian government. All visitors -- whether vaccinated or unvaccinated -- must upload a negative coronavirus test result to the ArriveCAN platform along with their travel information.
