School’s out, and the CBSA expects more border traffic
“Summer has begun and with schools out, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) expects increased border traffic. They advise travelers to prepare in advance to ensure smoother crossings and allow officers to focus on safety. Crossing during less busy times, like early morning or late at night, may reduce wait times. The CBSA also provides real-time wait times online to help with planning. Travelers should have all required documents ready, including passports and receipts, and carry authorization letters when traveling with children who are not their own. All purchases must be declared, and travelers should be aware of duty exemptions and prohibited items. Cannabis, even if legal in both Canada and Michigan, cannot be brought across the border without a valid medical permit, and violations can lead to serious penalties. Information for cross-border travellers can be found on the official CBSA website (https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html?utm_campaign=cbsa-asfc-hldtips-24-25&utm_source=news&utm_medium=mdpr&utm_content=en )”
