Updates:

Canada - Remote Area Border Crossing (RABC) program to resume: The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has resumed the RABC program, which facilitates the border clearance process for certain travellers who wish to cross the border into Canada in certain remote regions of northwestern Ontario and southeastern Manitoba. This is part of a phased approach to gradually resume CBSA services still affected by temporary COVID‑19 measures.
Prince Edward Island - Public health measures extended: The requirements to: (i) wear a face mask in high‑risk settings (e.g. long‑term care, community care homes and hospitals); and (ii) isolate for those who test positive for COVID‑19, will remain in place until further notice (they were scheduled to end on July 14, 2022).
