In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the border between the United States and Canada has closed to all non-essential travel starting, Friday, March 20, 2020, at 11:59 PM at each border crossing’s local time. The international border will remain open for essential travel, but non-essential travel will be restricted until at least Monday, April 20.
Non-essential travel refers to tourist and recreational activities. Cross-border commercial activity, urgent business travel, and trade will not be impacted. Air crew, diplomats, and healthcare workers will also be permitted to cross the US-Canadian border.
The United States and Canadian governments will consider ending or extending the border closure in 30 days.
Our team will continue to monitor travel and immigration restrictions related to the coronavirus outbreak. Schedule an immigration consultation with our experienced team or subscribe to our critical updates by sending an email to info@chugh.com.
