BREAKING: Canada to advise citizens against non-essential international travel due to Omicron variant

The sources, who CTV News are not identifying because they were not authorized to speak about the new restrictions, say the non-essential travel recommendation will likely be announced Wednesday.

One measure that is likely to be implemented is testing at airports for all individuals coming back to Canada, regardless of nationality or the country they are arriving from, according to a senior government source. The federal government has been criticized for having complicated travel restrictions for Canadians looking to return home from African countries that had extensive restrictions placed upon them.

Canadians are so screwed. I travel for work so get to see the world and what’s really happening. canada has turned into a 3rd world dictatorship thanks to JustinTrudeau. To retain power he scares the population over what is basically a cold

Yes I want to live my life, but firstly I don't want this virus to affect my family or friends, or anyone for that matter. We need to protect each other. It is a killing machine, ventilators are not fun nor seeing someone unable to breath with uncontrollable coughing. Stay safe!

Nice!!! Time to make boosters mandatory. Restrictions make people mad, then you give them their freedom back if they are compliant.

Can’t believe we actually re-elected this guy🤡🤡

Let's fight our rights to freedom 😤 , no more lockdowns,please. I am majoraly depressed, 66.

You mean the one that has been shown to be less than a cold? That variant

At some point, Canadians need to realize that the government works for us. This is ludicrous.

Right so the 'Canadians' are suppose to adhere to the none essential travel rule but it doesn't apply to anyone in government right!?!? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Vaccinated for the Win! Again... The tides are turning, the real scientist warned about this. These mRNA vaccines are designed for only 1 variant and will only weaken your immune system in time. Just like the flu shot. Anyways... Sad, scary times... 🙁

So much for the vaccine working after forcing separation n pulling people apart teaching them to discriminate against one n other like u do. They now see TRUTH. You're using everyone.

Too late, last week might have helped but now...

It's inadvisable, people should stay home until it's safe, use common sense get vaccinated take precaution.

So ridiculous. What was the point of getting double vaccines if you’re going to restrict travel? This is like communism. Make an advisement and let people decide on their own what they want to do(the Democratic way). Basically controlling the population and destroying the economy

More likely its bc the virus keeps mutating and boosters are required to stay ahead of it

No issues with any opinions expressed, the only concern I have is for ICUs incapable of coping with infected people ❤🇨🇦 Im right there with all of you, that we need to get back to living and leave fearmongering numbers

But only the vaxxed can travel.. are you saying the vaccine does not work? I know it’s suppose to lessen the symptoms and what not. So then what’s the big deal?

I think it's time the unvaxxed be allowed out and the vaxx stay home since there the super spreaders now. 44 cases in BC and 37 are vaxxed 😮

Make vaccines mandatory already. Give boosters as needed. But stop restricting those families who have gotten vaccinations and taken this seriously.

This is insane. You can't fully stop the flu virus, and you can't fully stop COVID. We don't shit the world down for the flu, so we are going to have to learn to live with this too. Virus's mutate, and so to will COVID. Let US live!

Funny thing about advice…. You have to trust the source to take it Nos vemos en mexico amigos!

Fight back!!! They work for us they don't control us.what happen to a free Canada Each day they take more and more away! Our government should be listening to us not dictating down to us!!!!

There is no and will never be a cure for the flu, what a game they are playing and the vaxd just played along and will continue to play along so they can do stuff. This is a pandemic of the politicians and the puppet sheep.

So if we all promise to vaccinate our kids, can we stay out of lockdown?

Many Canadians have already left for the holidays. The Federal and Provincial governments need to make RATS readily available and affordable for families in addition to booster shots and better masking. cdnpoli onpoli

Not this year Justin, thanks though.

Banning travel..another useless communist move by a communist government..what good will this do? The virus is here, taking away our freedom again..election time..

It is so embarrassing to be a Canadian in this new world order.

So where is JT and family headed for Christmas vacation this year

Dubai had an Expo 2020 with millions of people walking in, out and around - where is COVID ?

Covid-19 virus has yet to be isolated from Wuhan CCP and now Omicron is a dominant strain? IT'S A COMMON COLD FFS!

Unbelievable

Will this also include capacity limits at things such as sport venues? Because if no, why bother.

Doesn't matter how much vaccines they give out. It's time to admit Covid-19 is weaponized and manufactured. It not naturally occurring from nowhere. No virus mutates this quickly within months.

Two more weeks to flatten the curve... Then two more shots.. Then two more years.. It'll work this time

Just in time for Christmas. Didn't see that coming. 🙄

Wow, what a heads up!

It's a bad flu !!!!!!!

Advise ? Wtf !

Unreal

Anyone who wants to travel internationally can do excessive testing before coming back. Time to crack down on these cases. Ridiculous.

Advise me all you want. I'm getting my 3rd dose this week and I better be out of here in February.

But it’s already here?

Why don't we say no travel at all unless work, close everything down and say F you to this damn virus b.s ... I don't call it covid I call it insanity! We do the same thing expecting a different result

Seems to me that JustinTrudeau would understand that 3rd doses and more testing makes more sense than banning travel again? We have to find ways to live with Omicron and other variants. They’re here to stay…. cdnpoli

Lmao. It must be hard for them to maintain the lie.

And once again JustinTrudeau is going to mess this whole thing up. Canada the Drama queens of COVID. I’m a pro vaxxer, but Canada’s fear mongering is beyond pathetic. Act like proper adults. No other country is this restrictive, Canada is desperate to pretend it is better.

I'm totally confused about this new variant.. Did they not say it's not lethal.. It's like cold symptoms?

But he just announced his intention for record immigration? How does that add up exactly?

TracyAllardUCP

JustinTrudeau with vaccination rates as high as they are do not send the citizens of this country backwards as if we are at the beginning of the pandemic. Canada is a travelling nation. Do not limit travel again. With vaccines and treatments we are so much further ahead.

How can you tell us not to leave, but people coming into the country don't need to quarantine! This country is lead by nothing but a bunch of contradictory fear mongers!

JustinTrudeau Enough. There is NO data that omicron makes people more sick than delta. The UNvaccinated are at risk. Your supporters will soon NOT be. Let people live their lives and enjoy the holidays. “Cure” is tipping to worse than disease. No vaccine to fix Mental health.

Love the country and my friends up there, BUT this fearmongering and bs must stop. If any shit had to happen, this would’ve already happened here in Brazil. What’s the purpose of all those vaccines?! I am not an anti-vaxxer, but these ppl must get their facts straight.

I hope I catch Omnicom in my Ballsack

When will people demand change!

I agree

Until the world gets its shit together this will continue to be a problem... what you thought because Canada sorted its shot out the world was going to do the same and a new varient was not going to come out.. wake up!

Fk u

Watch him go on a family vacation OUTSIDE of Canada 🙄

2 years ago, that was racist to suggest.

3/4 of the people in here will follow what they are told anyway

Yeah ok Mr Castro

Advise.... Not ban.

No. I cant do more lockdowns. I cant. We are vaccinated. This has to end. We cant live like this forever. Its 2 YEARS come March we have been locked up. If this virus is going to run through us no matter what, then lets go..... life has to be lived. Not locked up.

Okk ...so travel to meet your old parents after 2 years ... Is that essential or non essential What's the point of 2 years lockdown, the vaccinations, flight bans if we could not prevent another variant from from evading our hard earned immunities ...

so if Canadians aren't suppose to travel internationally, then stop people who are international from travelling to Canada. If Canadians can get it from there, then people from there can bring it here.

Florida bound !

Lol only people that are vaxxed traveling hahaha. So why are they lacking it down? What's going on?

Let's call the parlement off for a year then 😂 and then appologogize for all the trips to Bahamas after return 😂 oh and CERB was made for all Canadians 🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Nah Imma still travel bc I know Omicron is mild and Trudeau is an idiot

When will the planet catch up with the vaccines....?

Unless it’s Mister Rich Privilege “Black Face” Justin Trudeau leaving Montreal for BC - most of which is apparently owned by his mother’s family (the Sinclairs).

3 doses, 4 doses, 5 doses…

But I’m sure this ass will be aloud to do and go where ever he wants

Wear mask

We got your back

Hi journorosa, Is LisaLaFlammeCTV off again? Hope she's doing okay.

Just two weeks

This is from Johnston and Johnston re South Africa, 'Although we have had a lot of breakthrough infections there has been very little hospital admission in comparison to the Delta period.' So what has changed? Are we going to shutdown for this year's flue virus as well?

With the help of my strategies I can guide and teach you on how to trade and earn more than $6700 weekly on crypto/bitcoin trading send a Dm now

So. 70 million vaccines later we are in THE SAME SITUATION as a year ago.

The solution is simple. Okay fine if you got two shots I understand. No one should get the booster. People need to draw the line at 2.

Care to comment on this?

Smoke some more Crack lol

Government & politicians & health officials are not going to dominate any Christmas international travel plans people have already made so close to Christmas . Stop ruing our rights to international Christmas travel plans .

Looks like we are going to end up like this guy…

Christmas international travel plans will not be dominated by health officials or doctors or government . We have the right to international plans already made & not cancelling out for this Coronavirus omicron variant when there is medicine , vaccines & booster shots .

Canadians voted for this.. well your gonna get it in full.

IMAGINE STILL LISTENING TO THIS BULLSHIT😂

So what's the point of getting the booster if you can't live your life... Where is the reward for doing the right thing.. ya know if we could all even get boosters which are too slow to roll out..

As Castro goes for another vacation..

Should of kept the borders closed until after the New Year. CapitalismOverSafety

No one cares

What a joke Canada is.... Florida is laughing at us

Omicron is already the dominant strain. Banning travel will do nothing to stop the spread.

So the federal government will now hassle and make it difficult for Fully vaccinated Canadians to travel?

Oh c'mon. Make it illegal. I don't want all those jabbed people roaming around the world bringing omicron back to Canada. Wuss.

Should be more than just advising
