The Canada Border Services Agency is reminding travellers that border measures remain in place for travellers returning to Canada and that they should get informed and understand their obligations as they make their travel plans.

With the United States allowing fully vaccinated travellers from Canada to enter the United States at land and ferry points of entry for discretionary (non-essential) reasons, such as tourism, there are things you need to know if you plan to head south.

The Canada Border Services Agency is reminding travellers that border measures remain in place for travellers returning to Canada and that they should get informed and understand their obligations as they make their travel plans. Canadian residents can check with their home province or territory about getting  to facilitate their return to Canada.

As of Nov.8, says CBSA, for short trips, that are less than 72 hours, Canadian citizens, people registered under the Indian Act, permanent residents and protected persons travelling to the United States are allowed to take their pre-arrival molecular test before they leave Canada. If the test is more than 72 hours old when they re-enter Canada, they will be required to get a new pre-arrival molecular test in the United States.

CBSA also warns travellers may experience delays at ports of entry due to the public health measures as the CBSA will not compromise the health and safety of Canadians for the sake of border wait times.The CBSA thanks travellers for their collaboration and patience.

Full details on the current measures in place for travellers entering or returning to Canada are available online: .
