The Government of Canada has issued guidance for Canadian citizens in Kuwait who are planning to leave the country amid the current regional situation. Authorities advised that Canadians who choose to depart and believe it is safe to do so may use land border crossings into Saudi Arabia, which remain open at this time. The two operational border crossings are Al Salmi / Ar-Ruqi and Al Nuwaiseeb / Al-Khafji. Officials urged citizens to closely monitor official updates and assess their safety before undertaking travel.
