The Canadian government announced Monday that it will open its border Aug. 9 to vaccinated Americans.
Travelers will have to upload proof they’ve been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus for at least two weeks. They will also have to get tested within 72 hours of arrival and submit a negative test result. In most cases, Canada requires visitors to submit the information through the ArriveCAN app or web portal.
The Canada-U.S. border has been closed to nonessential travel since March of last year. Alaskans were generally allowed to pass if they could show they needed to transit Canada for work or school or to get home.
This is a developing story.
