THUNDER BAY – The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reminds travellers of what to expect when crossing the border over the Easter long weekend.
Everyday, the CBSA works hard to protect Canadians, support the economy, and ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods across our borders. In 2023, we welcomed over 86k travellers and intercepted more than 72,200 kg of prohibited drugs, cannabis, narcotics, and chemicals, representing an increase of close to 30% from 2022.
