The long wait will soon be over for foreigners who have been banned from entering Canada for nearly 16 months.
Beginning Aug. 9, fully vaccinated citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. that are currently residing in the U.S. will be permitted to enter Canada. Non-essential travel into Canada has been banned since March 2020, something the Canadian government said was necessary to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
International travelers may also be allowed to enter Canada beginning Sept. 7, provided that the "COVID-19 epidemiology remains favorable," the Canadian government said in statement released Monday.
Entry to Canada will continue to be prohibited for all foreign travelers who are not fully vaccinated.
