Ontario is currently in Step 3 of its Roadmap to Reopen, since over 70% of its population has received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. As of July 27, 2021, 74.9% of Lambton County residents have received at least one dose of a vaccine, and there were only 2 active cases of the virus in the county.
Starting August 9, 2021, Canada will allow entry to American citizens and permanent residents who are currently residing in the Unites States. Travelers must be fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to entering Canada for non-essential travel, and they will not have to be tested for COVID-19 after they arrive unless they are randomly selected.
On September 7, 2021, the border will be open to any fully vaccinated travelers who have been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days. All travelers will need to use the ArriveCAN app or web portals to submit travel info and see if they meet criteria for entering the country.
