Updates have been made to align with the coming into force of the Order in Council 11 (2020-0185), Minimizing the Risk of Exposure to COVID 19 in Canada Order (Prohibition of Entry into Canada from the United States). More specifically, the guidance now further distinguishes how the travel restrictions affect foreign nationals departing from any country other than the United States and foreign nationals departing from the United States.
