• Before heading to the land border, travellers should check the Canada Border Services Agency's border wait times web pages for estimated wait times at select ports of entry.
• Whether travelling by land, air or water, travellers can help speed up processing times by coming prepared with their travel documents.
• In 2023, the Prairie Region facilitated the arrival of over 5.5 million travellers while keeping more than 70 illegal firearms and over 400 other prohibited weapons off our streets. We also seized large amounts of illegal drugs including over 850kg of methamphetamine.
• All travellers must declare their goods upon entry into Canada. For returning residents, have your receipts readily available for goods purchased or received while outside of Canada. You are encouraged not to travel with firearms, but if you choose to do so, be sure to check the CBSA website for the rules on importing firearms and other restricted and prohibited goods.
