The long awaited for day is here! As of August 9th, 2021 at 12:01 a.m. (EDT), Canada opens its border to USA vaccinated citizens and permanent residents for non-essential travel. Eligible visitors may qualify for the fully traveller exemption which exempts them from quarantine, a hotel stopover and a 8 day testing requirement. It’s been over a year and a half since the two North American nations closed the border in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the interlude is finally over and we’re ready to welcome back American citizens and residents to our Corporate Stays apartments!
