The current ban on foreign nationals coming from the US remains in place until 21 December2020, but could be extended again, according to he Minister of Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness, Bill Blair.

The mandatory isolation order was also extended in line with travel restrictions.

"Protecting the health and safety of Canadians is my most important responsibility. We have introduced a number of policies to keep Canadians safe but must remain flexible and adapt to the evolving Covid-19 situation," Blair said.

"The ability to align US and international travel extension dates, as well as the Mandatory Isolation Order, beginning on January 21, 2021 will enable the government to communicate any travel extensions or changes as quickly as possible," Blair added.

All travelers and returning residents permitted into Canada under certain conditions are required to isolate for 14 days.

Canada said it is now considering allowing access for ‘high-performance amateur sport organizations’ that wish to hold international single sport events.
