Moisheh, I'm going from Vancouver to Baja and back. For shipping a car, the closest return airport on Mex side is TIJ. All commercial flights from TIJ to USA go via Mexico city or Guadalajara, 10 hours trip to LAX.
Flight TIJ-Vancouver via the same Mexico city is only 1.5 hour longer, might as well forget about car. Going South is easier yet, direct flight Vancouver - San Diego.
Calexico isn't bad for driving to Vancouver from, but again, all commercial flights to the US from Mexicali go via major hubs like Guadalajara or Mexico city. Minimum 10 hours flight to the closest commercial airport. Need a charter, but this route is not as heavily trafficked as Can/US border where shared charters are full every day and therefore cheap. Car shipping and charter sucks anyway, much pain, much time lost.
Maybe I will be able to drive North in Spring, maybe not, who can tell? There is some logic in domestic restrictions in Canada - doesn't bother me, I'm vaccinated. But there is no logic in keeping the US border closed. It hurts both economies and has nothing to do with the epidemic, there are 4 times less new cases per capita in Canada than in the US.
