Two travelers who arrived into Toronto from the United States in July were fined close to $20,000 each for noncompliance with entry requirements, according to the country's Public Health Agency.

From August 9, fully vaccinated Americans will be allowed into the country for nonessential travel -- but only if they comply with all government requirements.
