Canadians can always come back. They just have to Quarantine for two weeks. She would also have to fly into the US since she would be denied at a land crossing. Weird, I know.

You also have to enter at one of a few entry points in British Columbia. Quite far from New York.
It was a joke. Note the winks.

Yup, I go on the FB page of the advocacy group for family reunification at the Canadian borders. There are people who live 45 minutes from their loved ones but have to get to airports to visit them.

They can visit using the process I linked to in my previous post. It's more likely that the problem for them is the mandatory 14-day quarantine.

My niece's husband is in that boat. He lives in MA but can't visit his mother in Montreal because he doesn't have 14 days to take off from work and quarantine.

Also be aware that you need a passport to get into Canada--gone are the days where citizens from both countries could freely cross without one....

To think there was a time I’d cross 3-4 times a week just to eat or go to bars. No passport, never had to show ID.

You can also take I-81 North and cross at the Thousand Island Bridge and take the QEW west towards Toronto.

Where is this taking place in Canada?

Also, with all of this said, you can't cross as of now.

Supposed to be near Port Credit, Ontario, right on the lake. It's funny to me Canada is beautiful but my people that live there can't see the forest for the trees.

Ah...

I took the winks to mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more. In other words keep your plan secret.

Thanks for explaining.

As they say, sometimes the law is an ass.
