US to Reopen Canada Land Border to Vaccinated Travellers November 8th
The US is set to reopen its borders to fully vaccinated travellers by air, land or passenger ferry starting November 8th.
Air travellers will need to show proof of vaccination on arrival in the US but will still need to show a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of boarding their flight.
Non-essential travellers crossing at a land border will be required to show proof of vaccination or attest to their vaccination status upon request by a border agent, but unlike air travellers they will face no requirement to show a negative COVID-19 test.
By January, 2022 essential travellers crossing at a land border will also be required to be fully vaccinated.
A number of details are still being worked out by the US Center for Disease Control (CDC). They include the type of documentation that will be accepted to prove a traveller's vaccination status and whether travellers who received doses of two different vaccines will be considered fully vaccinated.
The Canada-U.S. border has been closed to non-essential travel since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Canada opened its border to U.S. travellers in early August.
Canada's Rules Unchanged
For now, the Government of Canada’s travel rules and restrictions remain unchanged for Canadians who are entering back into the country from the U.S.
That means that in order to get back into Canada—whether hours or days after entering the U.S.—travellers will need to negative PCR test within 72 hours of a planned entry into Canada.
