Here is the article on cbc

Its buried a bit in there but this is a quote of the section...

 

During that news conference, ministers announced a series of new measures to limit the spread of COVID-19:

• International flights will only be permitted to land at a smaller number of airports. Those locations have not yet been announced.
• A ban on boats and cruise ships carrying more than 500 people from docking at Canadian ports until July.
• A recommendation that all travellers arriving in Canada from international points self-isolate for 14 days.

I don't understand the logic of only 500 passengers.  What if the lone carrier is within the 500?

This is only something they are considering.  They have not made this decision.

 

Asked if the government will close the Canadian border, Trudeau said, "We are in the midst of looking at this. We're in the midst of evaluating day-to-day what to do."

CBC confirmed the closure live on television nearly an hour ago.

I thought it said they were considering closing the borders...they are limiting entry, however.
