Canada has now ended its COVID-19 travel restrictions
U.S. Travel reacts to Canada's suspension of travel restrictions
Travellers to Canada do not need to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 — and wearing a mask on planes and trains is now optional, though it is still recommended.
People entering the country are no longer subject to random mandatory tests for the virus, and those who are unvaccinated will not need to isolate upon arrival.
U.S. Travel Reacts to Canada's Suspension of Travel Restrictions.
U.S. Travel Association Executive Vice President of Public Affairs and Policy Tori Emerson Barnes issued the following statement on the Canadian government's decision to remove all COVID-19 border and travel restrictions effective October 1:
“Ottawa is taking the right step by lifting its vaccine and testing requirement to enter Canada, which will give its economy a substantial boost. Washington should follow suit by immediately suspending proof of vaccination for qualified visitors from Canada and other nations, given the wide access to effective Covid boosters and therapies. Canada is the No. 1 source of international travelers to the United States, and we should take every action to accelerate recovery from this vital market.”
