The government of Canada announced, on July 19, 2021, that the
Canada-U.S. border, which has been closed to non-discretionary
travel since March 21, 2020, will be reopened for eligible
Americans on August 9, 2021, at 12:01 AM EST, and September 7,
2021, for those elsewhere in the world.
As a reminder, until recently, Canada's borders were closed to all international
travelers (including U.S. travelers) for non-essential
travel. Individuals who remained eligible to enter the country
(Canadian citizens or permanent residents) must be quarantined for
14 days upon entering, subject to very limited exceptions.
On July 5, 2021, travel restrictions were loosened for Canadian
citizens, permanent residents and other eligible fully vaccinated
travelers by eliminating the mandatory 14-day quarantine
requirement for those arriving in Canada. Therefore, eligible
travelers who can prove they are fully vaccinated no longer need to
quarantine.
