The Canadian government on Thursday quietly rolled back his lead against all non-essential travel, which will be replaced with a new notice stating that travelers should be fully vaccinated prior to departure.
The adjustment occurs only a few weeks United States land borders are reopening to vaccinated Canadian tourists and the busy vacation travel season. Beginning November 8, Canadians will be able to travel to America by land, ferry, or visit friends and family for tourism.
The updated guidance states that all travelers should take protective measures such as wearing masks and continue to avoid cruising outside of Canada. Travelers to the US should “Practice normal security precautions”, according to the government website.

The previous travel advisory was originally published in March 2020 and urged all Canadians to avoid cruise lines and non-essential travel outside the country “until further notice”.
It did not prohibit international travel, and many Canadians were already planning to visit the United States before the manual was updated online.
Also Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a standardized COVID-19 vaccination certificate for Canadian travelers. The system supports Canada’s new travel vaccination mandate, which requires travelers from Canadian airports or trains be fully vaccinated from October 30th.
