Looks like there’s 2 topic threads that are down the path of vaccine data breakdowns and conjecture. That is fine.
I wanted to start this thread and for it to be kept to actual facts pertaining to the opening of U.S./Canada border that come from the two governments…..not vaccination rate info.
So going forward, please share here any links/info you may see on topics such as:
-Extension of June 21st closure and what new closure date is.
-“Verified†opening date(s) and how they may be phased in.
-How vaccination verification is going to be applied.
-Is coming back into the states going to be done in exact same manner as entering Canada? With govt involved….that’s not a sure thing.
-etc….you get the point.
There’s a cutoff point where Americans won’t be able to make a trip to Kipawa in ‘21. Without seeing actual govt declarations, it’s hard to be optimistic….or pessimistic for that matter.
Thank you

Though not unexpected it was definitely not what I was hoping for

Hmmm…I don’t know if I can explain that any better than above.
-Say border closure is moved from 6/21 to 7/21…that’d be a fact.
-“If†Trudeau states that on 8/3 for example, the border is open to those fully vaccinated…that’d be a fact.
-Biden’s statement on matter listed above for us also getting back across…would be a fact.
If/when we get that far, then the current sketchy in details but very important facts are needed.
-how do we acquire and show proof of vaccination?
We know getting a passport isn’t as easy as going to the BMV for a new license and/or tags.
Where does getting proof of vaccination fall in line far as simplicity? We have no clue at the moment. Just handing them our signed vaccine cards at the border isn’t going to work….lol
It will be fact when we cross the border on our way to Alwaki. Until then it’s conjecture… which is a just a whisper above wishful thinking.
Ok
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair says the American and Canadian governments are extending restrictions on non-essential international travel until July 21. Canadian Press article I just read on line.

Sorry this link isn't working
Chazz…I’d replied to NovarDave and it didn’t go thru. Maybe a site glitch.
NovarDave, thanks for the info. Had just received a text about that update.
The facts I was looking for. At least we know that much now.
Thanks LK here's a cut and paste of new info
US-Canada border restrictions extended to July 21; measures for fully vaccinated to be announced June 21
Announcement on travel measures for fully vaccinated Canadians expected Monday, June 21

Extended another month
I watch the news particularly about this topic. Lots of discussion going on internally and with the US about opening.
Fully vaccinated travelers allowed across the border by mid August???? I heard it on the radio "NPR" coming into work and then googled it with same info.

Same info, another reliable source...

Just read a couple news reports with the same information. My September 4th trip is starting to look more and more likely to take place.
Interested in what the actual verification process will actually be.
Thanks guys! One thing we know, some form of update has to come out by 7/21.
Big Chief…if you have 10-15 minutes to possibly waste for nothing, maybe go to the ArriveCAN website or app and look around. It shows the processes folks who are eligible now have to go thru. They have to upload proof of vaccination along with providing other info required. I think they may have to take their actual vaccination card with them too. Sorry, it’s been a few weeks since I dabbled around that site so cannot recall everything.
Keep in mind, plenty may change when it comes time for non-essential Americans/fishermen to be permitted to cross. Maybe even an entirely different process altogether.
I thought the moderators “locked down†this subject??? I guess it’s back on…..
I appreciate the info/links provided. Best of luck to those trying to make it across either side.
Haha…no Balsams, the thread that was almost entirely speculation was curbed.
I hope it stays away from this one.
Guys here just shared what came straight from Trudeau and I told Big Chief a site showing how eligible people are getting across now.
