(3/17/2020) CNN and CBC are both reporting that there are talks between the US and Canada to close the border, including the land border. Everyone would be banned from crossing, even for cross border same day shopping, regardless of citizenship. There reportedly would be an exception for truckers and essential travel, such as health care workers who live on one side of the border and work on the other side.
It is reported that there may be an announcement as early as Wednesday, 3/18/2020. Even if it doesn't come into effect for a few days, I wouldn't wait until the last day because there are always a chance of a car accident resulting in a totaled car or an injury requiring hospitalization.
Get to your chosen side of the border as soon as possible.

Did they announce whether or not Canadians will still be able to return home?
And when exactly this suspension comes into effect?

Should be yes because under current rules, foreign nationals (example: German) can transit Canada.

Family member is trying to fly XXX-HKG-YVR-SEA but CX won't book him on it. They're saying it's not allowed.
