Canada considers dropping COVID-19 vaccine mandate at border, making ArriveCAN optional: sources

The Canadian government is preparing to drop the COVID-19 vaccine mandate at the border as early as the end of September, government sources have told Global News.

In addition, sources also say that use of the controversial ArriveCAN app to provide vaccination information to border officials would become optional once the restrictions are lifted.

As Kamil Karamali reports, the plan still needs to be finalized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau before the change can be made official. But the lifting of these restrictions would likely provide additional relief to many travellers who have faced hurdles entering Canada, including those who haven’t received a COVID-19 vaccine.
