Non-essential travel will be allowed at the Canada - U.S. land border beginning on Monday. This is the first time the border will be open since March of last year when it was closed to try to slow the spread of COVID-19.

As early as yesterday, eager travellers were lined up with their vehicles awaiting the opening.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council of Canada have some concerns about some of the requirements for returning to Canada. To get back into the country, you will need to show proof of vaccination and provide a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of crossing back in. You will also need to fill out the government of Canada's ArriveCAN travel application on a computer or smartphone.

Entry into the United States does not require getting tested for COVID-19 however you will need to provide proof of vaccination.
