DHS Extends Land Border Restrictions between Canada and Mexico through May 21, 2021

CBP issued a notification of the continuation of temporary travel restrictions of non-essential travel to the United States from the Canadian and Mexican borders, which will remain in effect until May 21, 2021. The restriction applies to “non-essential” travel by nonimmigrants or immigrants via land border, rail, and ferry crossing. It does not apply to air travel or sea travel (excluding ferry and pleasure boat travel).  

“Essential travel” is determined by Customs & Border Protection, and it includes traveling to attend educational institutions or to work in the United States. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents returning to the United States are excluded from this restriction. Please contact Iandoli, Desai, and Cronin P.C.  (info@iandoli.com) to schedule a consultation if you have questions about travel to and from Canada and Mexico.
