Canada Will Open Its Borders August 9th. But Only To…

On August 9th, fully vaccinated citizens and permanent residents of the United States currently residing in the US will be permitted to enter Canada.

It’s been a long 16 months that the border had remained closed in order to stop the spread of COVID.

Non-essential travel had been banned since March 2020.

But for international travelers, the wait will be a little longer; only in September will they be able to fly to Canada providing the  “COVID-19 epidemiology remains favorable.”

And ALL travelers — even if they are vaccinated —  will need a negative COVID test within 72 hours of requesting entry.
