This is significant news for so many Canadians—and the New York businesses and corporations who employ and stand ready to welcome them—who can now do so safely. Because of the constant innovation of our Excelsior Pass platform, New York State continues to build tools that meet the needs of today as well as the emerging needs of tomorrow for individuals and businesses alike."
