Due to COVID-19 non-Canadians are present barred from entering Canada.
Those planning to land in Canada should be aware of various customs issues. For example operating a VHF radio in Canadian waters requires a VHF station license and operators license. There is no regulation regarding sailing through Canadian waters, but landing in a Canadian port requires a check in with Canadian Customs. Upon returning to the US you must contact US Customs Border Patrol. You can streamline your return with either an "I-68" form or installing the "Rove" application on your smart phone. Of course a passport is required to land in Canada.
