So " more patience required" is the message of the day.

Remember, the US - Canada border is firmly closed to tourism, too. There are plenty of families whose brothers/sisters/parents/grandparents live just a few miles away but are off limits except for life-changing emergencies and Prime Minister intervention. Canadian tourism has been sorely missed in every tourism market, never mind tourism from GB and Europe. Our borders aren't exactly open and welcoming visitors right now, either.
