Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has approved the elimination of Canada’s mandate that persons entering the country get vaccinated, according to a source who is acquainted with the situation.

The official stated that Trudeau will allow an expiration of the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirement at the border, letting it lapse on September 30, said an official who spoke with the Associated Press (AP) on Thursday.

The official only agreed to talk on the condition that they remain anonymous because they were not permitted to discuss the topic publicly.

Unvaccinated travelers from other countries who are granted permission to enter Canada are currently subject to mandatory arrival testing and a 14-day quarantine.

When entering Canada, foreign nationals must present proof that they have been vaccinated, just as in the U.S. There is not anticipated to be any change in the U.S. requirement in the U.S. soon, AP reported.

When Pierre Poilievre was announced as the opposition Conservative Party’s new leader in Ottawa this month, the announcement that he would rid Canada of the ArriveCan app received approval from the party’s followers, Post Millennial reported.

The government, led by Liberal party leader Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has not yet decided whether to continue requiring passengers on trains and aircraft to wear face masks.

If the Toronto Blue Jays make it to the postseason, non-immunized professional athletes like major league baseball players would be permitted to compete in the playoffs in the city of Toronto. They are currently prohibited from crossing the border into Canada in any capacity.
