CANADA renews border restricts with USA due to COVID-19

the ban on non-essential travel could stay for months to come, given spiking cases of COVID-19.

The measures, first imposed in March, are due to expire on Oct 21.

Blair told reporters that Canada would keep the restrictions in place “until the conditions on both sides of the border ... change very substantively, until we can be assured based on the advice we receive from our public health officials” that the measures could be lifted safely.

A second wave is sweeping Canada, where health officials are reporting almost 2,000 new cases a day compared to just 300 in July.

We recognize that travel restrictions should not keep loved ones apart. In these challenging times, we know those challenges are best met with the strength and support of those we love by our side,” Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino told reporters.

As of Oct. 8, Canada will allow the entry of certain extended family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents, including those in an exclusive dating relationship of at least one year.
