The Canadian government on Aug. 9 lifted restrictions on fully vaccinated Americans who want to cross the border for non-essential travel in the country.

American citizens and permanent residents who currently reside in the United States must provide “proof of vaccination” documentation in English or French and a negative CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus test result that’s no more than 72 hours old or a previous positive test result that was taken between 14 and 180 days before departure to cross the border, the Public Health Agency said.
