While the United States-Canada border has been closed for most people since March 18, 2020 — and will remain closed through at least February 21 of this year — there’s still an air travel loophole allowing people to travel between the two countries. Now, Canada is working with the US to take away that option.
Bill Blair, Canada’s public safety minister, said in a news conference on Friday, “A loophole, frankly, does exist because the Americans previously had not placed any restriction on international flights coming into the U.S. That concerns us because that restriction is at our land border but not at air travel.”
