OTTAWA, ON, April 4, 2023 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reminds travellers of what to expect when crossing the border over the Easter long weekend.
Across the country, close to 6,600 border services officers are keeping harmful goods out of Canada, while ensuring legitimate travel and trade can continue efficiently and safely. In 2022, we facilitated the arrival of over 60 million travellers while keeping more than 1,100 firearms and 24,400 prohibited weapons off our streets and seized over 41,000 kg of illegal drugs.
The CBSA invests significant effort annually to plan and prepare for peak periods, such as holiday long weekends and summer months. The Agency monitors traveller volumes and wait times and adjusts staffing levels to minimize your processing times at our land ports of entry and in international airports, where we work with airport authorities in planning for arrivals.
We encourage travellers to take advantage of the many tools and tips available to them to help ensure a smoother trip:
