Canadians Advised To Avoid Non-Essential International Travel

Ottawa is urging you not to travel internationally this holiday season.

In an announcement Wednesday, federal officials put in an advisory to cancel or postpone the plans in response to the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said the travel measure, which was first discussed between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Premiers on Tuesday, will be in place for four weeks.

Canadians and permanent residents who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not have to provide a proof of a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test if the trip to the United States is less than 72 hours.
