Canada will likely dꩵrop the vaccine requirement for people who enter Canada by the en♛d of September, an official familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Tuesday. 

Canada, like the United States, requir🌱es all people to be vaccinated when en♏tering the country. It is not immediately known whether the U.S. will make a similar move by September 30. 

The official said that Prime Mi✅nis🌊ter Justin Trudeau needs to give a final sign-off on it but that the government will likely be dropping the requirement as well as ending random COVID-19 testing at airports. Filling out information in the unpopular ArriveCan app will also no longer be required. 

The official spoke on condition of anony🐲mity as they were not authorized to s🃏peak publicly on the matter. 

Unvaccinated professional athletes like major league baseball players would be allowed to play in Toro🐼nto in the playoffs should the Blue Jays make the postseason. They currently are not allowed to cross the border into Canada. 

When new populist Conservative leader Pierre Pꦏoilievre was announced as the party's leader in Ottawa this month the loudest cheer he got from s👍upporters was when he said he would get rid of the ArriveCan app.
