Canada will open its border to fully vaccinated Americans for nonessential travel starting August 9, Canadian officials announced Monday. Other foreign nationals will be permitted to enter beginning September 7, the Public Health Agency of Canada further explained in a press release. “On September 7,2021, provided that the domestic epidemiologic situation remains favourable, the Government intends to open Canada’s borders to any fully vaccinated travellers who have completed the full course of vaccination with a Government of Canada-accepted vaccine at least 14 days prior to entering Canada and who meet specific entry requirements,” the press release read in part. “As a first step, starting August 9, 2021, Canada plans to begin allowing entry to American citizens and permanent residents, who are currently residing in the United States, and have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to entering Canada for non-essential travel. This preliminary step allows for the Government of Canada to fully operationalize the adjusted border measures ahead of September 7,2021, and recognizes the many close ties between Canadians and Americans,” the release added.
