The federal government's eased border restrictions are set to take effect on Monday – meaning that for the first time since March 2020, travellers from the U.S. will be allowed to enter Canada for non-essential purposes.

As of Aug. 9, American citizens and permanent residents will be allowed into Canada if they can provide proof that they’ve been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days.

Just like fully vaccinated Canadian travellers, U.S. travellers who are fully vaccinated will also be exempt from quarantining for 14 days.Given that there aren't any vaccines approved for children under the age of 12 in either Canada or the U.S., unvaccinated children under 12 who are travelling with a fully vaccinated parent or guardian will also no longer need to quarantine as of Monday.

Only the major airports in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary had been allowed to accept international flights. But starting on Monday, international flights will again be allowed to land in Halifax, Quebec City, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Edmonton. Travellers will also be required to submit their travel information, proof of vaccination and COVID-19 test result through theCanadian border agents had also been engaged in a work-to-rule campaign on Friday, causing long lines at border crossings and airports. But hours later, the federal government reached a tentative deal with the union representing border guards, avoiding further havoc before the border reopens to Americans.

Why are we opening borders? We have given up so much to stay safe. Opening now is a huge mistake.

I really don’t think this is a good idea with a large amount of our population still unvaccinated, especially children but hey, the government knows best right?

Canada to welcome American travellers, end quarantine hotels starting MondayFor the first time since March 2020, fully vaccinated travellers from the U.S. will be allowed to enter Canada as of Monday. Those of us with children under 12 wondering why our government gives zero 💩 about them… So we've just barely got this under control in Canada, and now we're letting disease infected Americans pour over our boarders. Brilliant. Why do so many people concerned about borders not understand that 'boarders' are a different thing? These Americans may become boarders once they cross our borders though!
