Canada US Relations: Canada/U.S. border restrictions extended into 2021 - by Peter Zimonjic ·
The federal government has extended restrictions at the Canada-U.S. land border for another 30 days — until Jan. 21 — according to Public Safety Canada.
The world's longest international border has been closed to non-essential travel for months, although essential workers — such as truck drivers and health care professionals — are still able to cross by land. Canadians also are still able to fly to U.S. destinations.
Americans wishing to travel to Canada must prove to the Canada Border Service Agency that their visit is for an essential purpose or they have immediate family in Canada, they have no COVID-19 symptoms and they have a 14-day quarantine plan — unless they can prove they are exempted.
