The U.S. land border will reopen to fully vaccinated Canadian travellers on November 8. Also on November 8 the U.S. will reopen to fully vaccinated foreign nationals arriving by air.

White House Assistant Press Secretary Kevin Munoz announced the news in a tweet this morning, saying: “The U.S.’ new travel policy that requires vaccination for foreign national travellers to the United States will begin on Nov. 8. This announcement and date applies to both international air travel and land travel.”

Earlier this week the U.S. announced that it was reopening its land border to Canadian travellers in early November. The U.S. had also given an November timeline when it announced on September 20 that it would reopen to fully vaccinated foreign nationals arriving by air. Today’s news finally puts a date on the reopenings.

There’s still no word on acceptance of mixed doses. Close to 4 million Canadians, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have mixed doses (Pfizer, Moderna and/or AstraZeneca).

According to reports, the CDC is currently reviewing the mixed doses situation.

Many families with young kids are also be waiting to hear whether unvaccinated children under the age of 12 can cross the land border without restrictions. So far indications from the Sept. 20 announcement about fully vaccinated foreign nationals suggest that exemptions will be made for young kids who don’t yet have access to vaccinations.

The Canadian government’s advisory against all non-essential travel is still in place after more than a year and a half. In recent weeks ACTA, ACITA and other travel industry execs, as well as the consumer media, have have stepped up calls for a more country-specific risk-based travel advisory.
