speculation on the us canada border

[RobertNYC]

Thank you so much for the great insights and recommendations.

I’m planning a one night trip in Sept so my scenario is even better than the one you mention. I’ll drive from NNJ to Saratoga Springs for coffee with my former boss, and then drive up from there. I’d be at the border by 3:30p, and back out by 10a the next morning. Hopefully two appointments squeezed in in the one night I’m there. No time for a test.

Thanks. Much appreciated!

Crossed the border recently using my NEXUS pass. One of the easiest crossings of all time, even pre COVID. One simple question and off I went.

Appears that Canada might have heard Biden say that the pandemic has ended.

Canada to make ArriveCan optional, drop vaccine requirement at the border by Sept. 30

Mask requirements on trains and planes will remain in place, but random COVID-19 testing will end

It's about damn time...

Gonna finally re-new my passport after hearing this! lol

^^^^I think your timeline is little off. If you have 24 hours to submit the test you would still have time for it to be delivered, processed and then you would get your notification. Probably more like 4-5 days you’d be notified by email. If at that point your positive, pretend you didn’t get the notification and get your ass back over the border.

Pretending is the better way to have trouble next time you will try to cross the border. Bad advice!

Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre. Il était prévu que les mesures restantes seraient en place jusqu'au 30 septembre.
Rien de nouveau ici.
Ceux, comme Poilièvre, qui s'attribuent le mérite de la fin des mesures prennent leur rêve pour la réalité. Ils font de la masturbation intellectuelle pour ressentir un petit plaisir.

With gas still over $3.50 a gallon and airfares coming down to around $300 for a round trip ticket out of NY, it's almost worth flying to Montreal again.

Does anyone know if they are still doing random COVID testing at the airports? Would hate to get quarantined in Canada.

I just got the Covid booster yesterday. Unfortunately no. Canada trips for me until I get my new passport, which expired. US State Department says 8-11 weeks so I don't expect to get it until late December at the earliest.

They haven’t done onsite testing since summer. The worst case scenario during summer was you get a test kit similar to land border.

Crossed border recently. Getting into Canada was a breeze, no ArriveCan app, no proof of negative test, nothing. Minimal questions. Just me, my car, and cash to spend on the ladies!

Just a thought, in NY we have "enhanced licenses" which allow us to cross into Canada. Maybe your state has the same?

i think that allowed crossing is limited to via land crossing by car. Passport is needed for air based method of / international crossing.

Woah, maybe the truck convoy should head down to the US and protest for their "freedumb"

LoL. They would be refused entry for No Vax.

Those being denied access to USA because not being vaccinated are just ignorant who didn't do their own serious research.
They pretend they know better than others but found they were wrong on this one at least.

USA to lift vaccine mandate next week.

U.S. to lift vax mandate at Canadian border

The U.S. will drop its COVID-19 vaccine mandate at the Canadian border next week.
