Border wait times
The table below shows the estimated wait times for reaching the primary inspection booth, the first point of contact with CBSA when crossing the Canada/U.S. land border. Each border location updates its estimated wait times at least once an hour, and this Web page is refreshed every 10 minutes if some of the information has changed. To make sure you have our current information, use your browser's refresh or reload function. A wireless version of Border Wait Times is also available as part of the Government of Canada's Wireless Portal.
