A U.S. District Court Judge issued a preliminary injunction (aka "halt") to the June Presidential Proclamation that suspended the entry of foreign nationals via H-2B and other temporary work visas.
Under the ruling, the Department of Homeland Security and State Department are ordered to immediately resume processing and issuing H-2B, and a broad range of similar H and J-class temporary work visas.
The regions of the USA present different climates, available transport and move opportunity options.

Canada and the United States closed their border as of March 21st for all but essential or urgent travel, and the transit of goods. Currently, commercial truck drivers are not being impacted by measures closing the border. Cities, states and provinces imposing stay in place lock downs are another matter. This is uncharted and times are 'fluid'.
• Doubts about: delivery changes and unexpected delays, ever changing exchange rates and the impact of unexpected mandatory self isolation or quarantine periods will exist. Lets talk to sort out today's reality.
Call 1 (800) 880-1829 for help with your concern(s).
IMPORTANT
Moving a Canadian's goods into the US currently depends on:
• Having the approved I-94 documentation.
• Already living there.
• Having a work permit.
COVID-19 International Moving Options:
• Put your household goods in a Pre-Pack container or storage. Ship it when this health problem reveals a more certain path to unpacking at your destination.
• Arrange a virtual move estimate by contacting Bekins with pictures or a video of the items you want to move. Bekins will keep you up to date with the destination reality changes.
• Bekins will do its best to be considerate, in these are frustrating times. We will do everything in our power to make your move a complete success.
• Re infection and local stay in place regulations will make predictability elusive. Bekins will use decades of experience adapting to adhoc situations or last minute delays, on your behalf.
• Our staff and suppliers are an experienced backbone of the moving industry. They have earned their place, at the heart of a network dedicated to moving internationally.
COVID-19 and Moving Day Expectations:
• The Bekins staff will show up ready to greet you with a smile (no handshakes please).
• They will ask you about any past infections, along with when they ended, before being allowed to start.
• They will need access to soap and water to wash their hands often.
• Taking chances using recycled boxes from neighbours is not an option. Only new packing material is used.
THE HEALTH OF BOTH YOUR FAMILY AND OUR STAFF IS THE PRIMARY CONCERN

This unsolicited review says it all..
"I would like to thank you , personally, and all your fine team, for so ably assisting me with this process.
Everything went as planned, and all my possessions arrived in good condition.
I have never experienced such a smooth move, nor have I ever received all my goods on prior moves. For this, I will be eternally grateful.
I can heartily recommend your business.
With many thanks,
