Canada is now denying entry to nearly everyone who isn't a Canadian citizen or permanent resident but Americans are exempt from that ban.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the level of integration between Canada and the United States is behind that decision.
But he says there's more work to be done in the coming days to ensure Canadians are being kept safe and that the necessary goods keep flowing.
Trudeau says Canada and the U.S. are co-ordinating closely.
