Canadian travellers looking to cross the border for the upcoming festive season may be in for some sticker shock. A recent report from CheapAir.com shows an uptick in the average airfare prices for the 2023 holiday season.
Those hoping Canada's travel restrictions would end in time for their summer vacation are likely to be disappointed, as the federal government has announced yet another extension of COVID-19 measures at the border.On Wednesday, June 29, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) confirmed that travel restrictions in Canada will remain in place until September 30 at the earliest.
As of Saturday, January 22, Canadians looking to cross the U.S. border by land or by ferry will need to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination to border patrol officers. This is following similar regulations for air travel into the United States put in place in early January.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the changes, which were first announced in October of last year, in a release issued on January 20.
If you re planning a trip across the border in the near future, things might look a little different once again. That s because restrictions at the Canada-U.S. border have been updated, and almost everyone must now be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to cross.
The latest update to Canada s travel restrictions is going to make it much harder for unvaccinated people to enter the country. As of January 15, 2022, the federal government is removing a number of entry exemptions for travellers that aren’t fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
