OTTAWA, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Canadian academics are being advised against all non-essential travel to the United States, the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) said in a travel advisory to its members on Tuesday.

Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, CAUT strongly recommended that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary, said the association, which represents more than 72,000 professors, researchers and other academics at Canada's public universities and colleges.
