    Trudeau was getting pressure from both sides of the boarder to open. He made a push to please the people but has now found a new reason to keep the boarder shut. The boarder had no chance of ever opening up.

    'Let’s get this thing going': Canada opens border to fully vaccinated Americans for travel

    Eve Chen
    USA TODAY

    This image provided by the Office of the Mayor of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, shows the border line between Canada and the United States, inside the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel on June 4, 2021.
    American tourists can now visit Canada for the first time since the pandemic.

    Canada opened its borders to fully vaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents at 12:01 a.m. Monday.

    The moment couldn't arrive any sooner for loved ones who've been apart for more than a year.

    “We were all so eagerly waiting for that day,” Asawari Kaur of Indiana told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, while waiting in Detroit's duty free shop minutes before midnight.

    Many Canadian business owners are excited for vaccinated American visitors.

    “Let’s get this thing going,” said Joel Villanueva, owner of Primo's Mexican Grill in White Rock, British Columbia. “A lot of our customers are from the United States, and we are literally minutes from across the border. We welcome our Americans, and we depend on their foot traffic.”

    Can we visit Canada now?
    While Canadian borders have reopened, Americans can't just hop in a car or on a plane. Travelers will need to submit proof of vaccination and other travel details to the Canadian government's ArriveCAN platform at least 72 hours before arriving in the country, whether traveling by land or air.

    Wait time to enter Canada by land varied widely Monday morning. There was no delay at the Cornwall entry near Rooseveltown, New York, and Douglas Peace Arch near Blaine, Washington. However the wait was three hours long at St. Stephen 3rd Bridge near Calais, Maine, and seven hours long at the Fort Francis Bridge near International Falls, Minnesota. Travelers can check the latest wait times by clicking here.

    What do I need to travel to Canada?
    Most Americans will need to be fully vaccinated to visit Canada, having received their last shot at least 14 days before entering the country.

    Unvaccinated dependent children can enter with a fully vaccinated parent or guardian who is eligible to enter Canada.

    People with health conditions that prevent them from becoming fully vaccinated can qualify for eased quarantine and testing requirements but must follow a modified quarantine.

    Vaccinated travelers don't need to quarantine, unless they show COVID-19 symptoms. However all visitors must prepare quarantine plans.

    Regardless of vaccination status, everyone will also need to provide negative COVID test results and upload all their travel information to the ArriveCAN platform.

    Travelers are advised to keep their test results, proof of vaccination and a list of close contacts and locations visited on hand.

    Do Americans need a passport to go to Canada?
    U.S. travelers need a valid passport to visit Canada. However a tourist visa is not required for stays under 180 days.

    Passport appointments have been scarce for months as hopeful travelers flood passport offices with applications. Pent-up demand has ballooned wait times to 12-to-18 weeks, according the State Department.

    The State Department has advised Americans to "reconsider travel" to Canada, among other countries, due to the ongoing pandemic.

    When can Canadians visit America?
    It's not yet clear when the U.S. will reopen to Canadian tourists. Last month, the U.S. extended travel restrictions on non-essential travel from Canada and Mexico through Aug. 21 amid growing COVID-19 cases across the country. U.S. borders were first closed in March 2020 and restrictions have been extended monthly since then.

    Last week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said: "Any decisions about resuming travel will be guided by our public health and medical experts. ... I wouldn’t look at it through a reciprocal intention.”

    To your point, the alphabet agencies must be pulling their hair out. In 3 weeks time, the Tollybon has eliminated the heroin trade in Afghanistan.

    US was there for 20 years and saw it increase 10 fold...

    You mean we didn't stop the illegal drug trade that allowed them to keep getting rich.... Wonder how many actual terrorists are getting in by the southern border plus how many are going to claim they helped us during our 20 year vacation in their country.... How do you truly vet someone who so strongly believes that they are doing something good and just by killing innocent people.
    “Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
