There goes the neighborhood. The horde from the Great White North will ascend upon us. Who? Who I ask, will protect us?

Never made sense especially with the current policy on the southern border but that’s a whole different topic. Glad to see more Billsmafia will finally be able to attend.

Same rules apply on the southern border as well. Essential travel only.

This is great news and long overdue. The border situation has been asymmetric from the beginning. US nonessential travelers were not allowed into Canada by any travel means from March 2020 until this August whereas Canadian nonessential travelers could always fly into the US from the start. Now finally it will be equal for both sides starting early next month. Just in time for all the snowbirds to get their motor homes loaded up for their annual journey south which was curtailed last year.

Considering we let Americans come north in August it only makes sense.

 

Besides lots of snowbirds still drive to Florida , Arizona and other warm states.

It says it will no longer be necessary to show a neg test to enter the US which is nice but... it sounds as though canadians will still need a neg test result to re-enter canada though, so it means canadian fans will still need to get a neg PCR before leaving

We recently returned from Iceland and a Rapid Antigen Test was accepted.  We were tested and had our results before we got back to our hotel.

was that return trip to canada or the US?   currently travellers to canada must have a neg PCR test, so as it stands, a canadian fan going to bills game would have to get a pcr test ($200!) before leaving for the game (it's valid for 72 hrs), not for entry to the US, for re-entry to canada.  Hopefully they change it to the cheapo rapid test then it would be doable

It was to return to the US.  I am glad it wasn’t a PCR which is slower and more expensive.  Our trip from the US to Iceland also accepted the Rapid Antigen Test.  Each country had its own regs, of course.
