We had an interesting discussion about our neighbor who has permanent residency in Mexico and is Canadian.

He is going to get his Mexican citizenship as soon as things open up again (us too). IF he already had it, it still wouldn't open up the Canadian border to him going south because he would have to get a visa to visit the US!!!

Catch 22.

I don't understand how his Mexican citizenship can make it worse. Neither Canadian nor Mexican laws prohibit double citizenship. Canadian citizens don't require non-immigrant visa to the US, except for the following purposes - visiting is not on the list (embedded at the bottom) https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/citizens-of-canada-and-bermuda.html.

BUT - did he have or have not problems going South from Canada to/through the US with RP papers under Covid restrictions? Better yet, did anybody with RT (not RP) have such problems?
