Cross-Border and International Travel Information

01/13/2022

The Kahnaw�:ke COVID-19 Task Force (Task Force) would like to advise the community that due to the ever-changing nature of travel restrictions at the various ports of entry, personal travel questions/inquiries cannot be addressed by the Task Force.

�Due to the current situation with COVID-19, the Omicron Variant, and the situation regarding government requirements for cross-border travel, we are advising Kahnawa�kehr�:non to research the various government websites to see the latest information and updates regarding trips over the border and abroad,� said Robyn Montour, member of the Task Force. �We understand that people want to travel and take vacations; however, be advised that any restrictions, vaccination or quarantine requirements are those of the U.S. or Canada, not Kahnaw�:ke.

Additionally, when returning to Canada, it is at the discretion of the individual border services agent to make the determination if you meet their criteria for re-entry, and/or to impose COVID-19 testing, and isolation measures.

Residents can access current COVID-19 travel restrictions and/or regulations before crossing the border by visiting the following websites:

https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/exemptions

https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/answers/citizen-no-symptoms

Currently, the Task Force has not implemented a travel ban, but Kahnawa�kehr�:non are being advised to consider the risks involved with traveling abroad in light of this 5th Wave.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
