Over one million travellers welcomed into Canada Easter week, first time since start of the pandemic

OTTAWA, ON – The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) marked a significant note last week.

The CBSA welcomed into Canada more than one million travellers between April 11 and 17. That’s the first time travel volumes have been that high since the start of the pandemic two years ago.

This spring and summer, travellers will be returning to a border that is managed differently with new requirements. That may result in delays during peak travel periods. The CBSA is working to mitigate long border wait times but there are things travellers can do to make the process easier for themselves and other travellers.

The CBSA advises people to always come prepared with their passport, or other acceptable identification and by completing their mandatory ArriveCAN submission, including their COVID-19 vaccination information, within 72 hours before arriving at the border.
