Canada To Drop Vaccine Requirement, Make ArriveCan Optional For Travelers
For the first time in more than two years, it will be possible for unvaccinated Americans to visit Canada without quarantining — and it will be a lot easier for vaccinated travelers to cross the border, too.
Canada will drop its Covid-19 vaccine requirement for visitors by September 30, government officials have told the Globe and Mail and other Canadian news outlets. On the same day, the country is reportedly also going to end random Covid arrival tests and make the ArriveCan app optional. But the requirement to wear masks on domestic flights and train trips will remain, according the sources.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has yet to formally sign off on the change, has been facing political pressure to loosen border rules.
