Border services resume at small airports, marine sites, ferry terminals

Canada has entered another stage of its slow and gradual reopening as Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) resumes service at various small marine reporting sites, airports of entry and ferry terminals.

The move follows Ottawa’s new public health measures affecting travel to Canada for fully vaccinated United States citizens and permanent residents on August 9.

CBSA says its services will resume across three different dates.
