These Canada-U.S. border crossing hours are changing next year. Here’s why – National

The Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) is changing the hours you can cross the border at dozens of crossings between Canada and the ******* States, starting next year.

The CBSA said in a statement Monday that it “intends to adjust hours of service at 35 land ports of entry across Canada” starting midnight on Jan. 6, 2025.

The changes are being brought into effect in collaboration with the ******* States, the CBSA said.

“It will allow the CBSA to use its resources more efficiently by deploying officers at busier ports of entry. This will support the CBSA’s ability to process travellers and goods as well as to manage enforcement activities,” the agency said in a statement.

CBSA said the adjustments are based on “an analysis of operational pressures, peak periods, and services required at the ports of entry, to minimize the impacts on border communities.”

The government has been pressed by opposition parties and provinces on its plan to add additional resources at the U.S.-Canada border in anticipation of a potential increase in people seeking to enter Canada from the U.S., where president-elect Donald Trump has vowed mass deportations.

Dominic LeBlanc says that work by the RCMP and CBSA should prove to the incoming Donald Trump administration — whose newly appointed “border czar” has called the Canada-U.S. border a “huge national security issue” — that Ottawa shares their concerns about border security.

“I’m very confident in the work that they can do with their ********* counterparts, and we’ll reassure the ********* administration that we’re prepared to do the work that’s necessary,” LeBlanc said.
