Border Issues and Programs

Canada-U.S. border ports of entry are faced with a variety of issues, many involving the need to balance security with the efficient movement of passengers and goods through border crossing sites. Non-recurring events in close proximity to border locations, such as the Olympics, only add to these issues due to the increase in traffic through the ports of entry. Mitigation of the issues requires close coordination between the U.S. and Canada to develop programs that assist in maintaining security and improving traffic flow. Several programs are highlighted below. In addition, as developments related to the Canada-U.S. border unfold, we will continue to provide information on this website.
