Can I cross the Canadian border with a work permit?

Yes. However, a work permit isn't a travel document. It doesn't give you the right to travel to Canada.

Can work permit holders enter Canada now?

Even if your work permit application is approved, you can only travel to Canada if you're exempt from the travel restrictions. In most cases, you must qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller. You must apply online when you apply for a work permit from outside Canada.

Is the Canadian border open to US citizens?

Land borders are operating at reduced capacity and with limited hours. Visit CBP and CBSA for details on land border crossings. All travelers must use the ArriveCAN system to enter their traveler information, including proof of vaccination, before arriving in Canada.

Do I need an eTA for Canada if I have a work permit?

If you apply for an initial work or study permit before you travel to Canada, you'll get a visa or an eTA automatically once your work or study permit application is approved. You don't need to apply for a visa or an eTA, or pay extra fees.
