(LifeSiteNews) — A U.S. congressman publicly condemned Canada’s ArriveCAN app last week and called for it to be cancelled.

ArriveCAN closely tracks all travel into Canada and ensures that travelers follow all COVID-19 regulations, including being fully vaccinated, to cross the border.

“The ArriveCAN app and other restrictions continue to be a barrier to the free flow of people across the northern border,” Democrat Rep. Brian Higgins of New York said June 15 in a press release.

“My office regularly receives calls from Western New Yorkers frustrated and confused by the technology and frequently changing, disjointed requirements for crossing between the U.S. and Canada. Consequently, to bypass the uncertainty and hassle it creates, many are avoiding making the trip across the border entirely,” he continued.

“We have to get back to pre-pandemic US-Canada border management,” Higgins added. “I stand with municipal leaders and tourism agencies in calling for an end to the ArriveCAN mandate.”

The ArriveCAN app continues to be a barrier for those crossing the Northern Border.

It’s time to end the ArriveCAN mandate so our cross-border economies can return to pre-pandemic activity.
