How should Canadian travellers prepare for one-day visits south of the border once they are able to travel to the U.S. again on Nov. 8?
Canadians will soon be able to drive to Disneyworld for a week-long vacation or make daily trips across the border to go shopping at an outlet mall or take in a sporting event or concert.
On Nov. 8, the U.S. will lift restrictions on Canadians driving across the border that have been in place since practically the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the border closed to drivers at the moment, traffic heading across is currently less than 15 per cent of what it once was, according to the Canada Border Service Agency.
For example, a million people drove across the border for the week of Oct. 11, 2019, whereas that number was just 144,603 this year.
While the CBSA does not track daily visits, well over half of those travellers were Canadians heading across the border and heading home.
So when the border does open, what should Canadians do before making the trip south of the border, specifically if they want to watch the Buffalo Bills play or hit a Target and come home on the same day?
Whether it be a day or a week, those who are looking to head across the border need to be fully vaccinated, though they will not be required to have a COVID-19 test in advance.
Canadians will need to be able to provide proof of vaccination if they are randomly selected to do so.
