Starting January 6, 2025, the operating hours for 35 Canada-US land ports of entry will change, reducing crossing windows for travelers. This may impact those relying on flagpoling services for immigration needs.
Affected provinces include Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The US will align its port hours with these changes.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) cites improved security and efficient resource use as reasons for the changes, emphasizing adjustments based on traffic patterns and operational needs. Full commercial timings are available on the CBSA website.
