Press Release
The Canada Border Services Agency would like to remind travellers to plan their border crossing to avoid delays at ports of entry in eastern and Northern Ontario during the Labour Day long weekend.
The CBSA recommends travellers plan their border crossing outside of peak traffic periods when possible, and to check border wait times on the CBSA’s website or on Twitter.
Border wait times are not expected to exceed more than 20 minutes for the Fort Frances or Rainy River ports of entry during the long weekend.

Travel tips are as follows:
1. Beat the border rush. Cross as early in the day as possible.
2. Keep travel documents handy, and make sure each passenger has the correct travel document.
3. Know your purchases, know where your receipts are, and know your personal exemptions and restrictions.
Remember that all raw poultry, poultry products, and by-products that are not fully-cooked, including eggs and raw pet foods, originating from several states are prohibited from entering Canada until further notice.
4. Know the contents of your vehicles.
5. Not sure? Ask the CBSA officer, or watch our travel tips video or visit our website.
