Canada to Reopen Border with US to Fully Vaccinated Travelers

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Canadian officials announced that fully vaccinated American citizens and permanent residents can enter Canada for what is being called “discretionary travel” beginning August 9. 

Those wanting to cross the 8,891-kilometer border by land or air into Canada will have to arrive asymptomatic and provide proof of full vaccination as well as a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arrival.  The required documentation must be uploaded to the ArriveCAN app ahead of the trip, and travelers will need to have the paper version physically available.  Canada’s easing of entry restrictions will extend to travelers from all other countries starting September 7, with identical requirements.
