Petition to the Government of Canada
- On October 1, 2022, the Canadian government announced that all travellers would no longer be required to show proof of vaccination in order to enter Canada;
- Legislators from every level of government, both in Canada and the USA, and who represent a diversity of political parties, have called on the American government to also remove proof of vaccination as a requirement to enter the United States from Canada;
- Democratic Senators Gillibrand and Tester have called for border vaccination requirements to end with Senator Tester stating “It is past time for America to do the same.”;
- It is time to safely reunite family members and friends who have been separated by border restrictions for years;
- Reciprocal border measures for travelers entering both Canada and the United States have been a long-standing practice between our two countries; and
- Border communities, the tourism and hospitality sector, and the aviation industry have been negatively impacted by extended border restrictions.
