Canada on Thursday revised a travel advisory that they had implemented on Pakistan.
According to The News, the Canadian government removed Islamabad from their list of cities to "avoid non-essential travel" to. The government of Canada's website shows that Islamabad's status has been reduced to "Exercise a high degree of caution", the second lowest level. The High Commission of Canada in Pakistan also made a similar announcement on their Facebook page.

The travel advisories are split into four risk levels - (1) Exercise normal security precautions, (2) Exercise a high degree of caution, (3) Avoid non-essential travel, and (4) Avoid all travel.
Canada's global affairs department revised the travel advisory for Pakistan after observing that there has been a decrease in risk level for Canadians travelling to the Pakistani capital. The High Commission encouraged Canadian authorities to revise the advisory after the security situation across the country improved.
Canada has also said that further steps will be taken in light of the improving security situation in Pakistan.
