Border wait times today

Estimated wait times at the Canada Border Services Agency's busiest land crossings into Canada, as a dated snapshot — not a live feed. Wait times change hourly, so check the live CBSA page before you drive.

Snapshot as of November 13, 2026, 2:59 p.m. MST — wait times change hourly. Check the live CBSA page before you leave.

Check the current figure before you drive: CBSA, "Border wait times: United States to Canada" — the live table — and the CanBorder app, which also gives forecast wait times. This page never replaces either one: it is the snapshot below, frozen at the time in the stamp above.

Before you cross: check which documents each traveller needs with the Travel Document Checker, and work out the duty and tax on goods you bring back with the Landed Cost Calculator.

What the snapshot showed

At the snapshot time, most crossings showed no delay. The crossings with a wait, a closure, or a notice were:

• Ambassador Bridge, Ontario: commercial 20 minutes.
• Fort Erie (Peace Bridge), Ontario: commercial 18 minutes, travellers 1 minute.
• St-Armand/Philipsburg, Quebec: travellers 15 minutes.
• Douglas, Surrey, British Columbia: travellers 15 minutes.
• Gordie Howe International Bridge, Ontario: commercial 10 minutes, travellers 5 minutes.
• Pacific Highway, Surrey, British Columbia: commercial 5 minutes, travellers 10 minutes.
• Niagara Falls Rainbow Bridge, Ontario: travellers 9 minutes.
• Abbotsford-Huntingdon, British Columbia: travellers 5 minutes.
• Queenston Lewiston Bridge, Ontario: commercial 4 minutes.
• St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Quebec: no delay in the snapshot, but the CBSA page carries a standing notice — redevelopment of the primary inspection line is underway, with higher-than-normal waits expected until Winter 2027.

Every other crossing in the table below showed No Delay for both flows at the snapshot time. A morning snapshot is not a daytime promise: midday and holiday peaks look different, which is why the live page governs.

How to read this table

Each row is one port of entry, in the CBSA page's east-to-west order. Commercial flow and travellers flow are separate lines: a crossing can be clear for cars and slow for trucks, or the other way around. "Not Applicable" means that flow does not run at that crossing (for example, a travellers-only bridge has no commercial line). "Updated" is the CBSA timestamp for that row, in the crossing's local timezone — it is the last time the CBSA refreshed that row, not the time this page was built. Times are estimates: the CBSA states they can vary with major events, holiday visitors, and enforcement actions. They do not include delays on the roads leading to the port of entry, so check bridge, tunnel, and road conditions separately before you head out. The CBSA page covers 30 crossings; the snapshot below carries all 30 rows in the table as read on November 13, 2026. If a crossing you need is not listed, check the live CBSA page.

Crossing into the United States: a different dataset

The table above covers travel into Canada only. Wait times for crossings into the United States come from a separate dataset, published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not by the CBSA. This page carries no US-bound figures: use the CBP Border Wait Times app (Android) or the CBP Border Wait Times app (iOS) for the current US-bound figure at your crossing.

Before you cross: the checks

• Check the live CBSA page and the CanBorder app on the day you travel, not this snapshot. A snapshot from the morning says nothing about the afternoon peak.
• Read the commercial and travellers lines separately. They move independently.
• Check road and bridge conditions before the port: the CBSA times exclude delays on the roads leading to the port of entry.
• Check the crossing's hours and any standing notice (like the St-Bernard-de-Lacolle redevelopment) on the CBSA page before you set out.
• Compare the live figures across nearby crossings before you pick a route — but pick from the live figures, never from this snapshot.

What this page does not do

This page states no live wait time, no prediction of the wait at any hour, and no recommendation of one crossing over another. A snapshot row that reads No Delay is a statement about the CBSA timestamp beside it, not about the crossing now. If a row's CBSA timestamp is old — the Cornwall row in this snapshot was last refreshed by the CBSA at 5:10 a.m. EST, hours before the rest — treat that row as stale and check the live page.

Sources and how each figure was checked

Sources: Canada Border Services Agency, "Border wait times: United States to Canada — 30 busiest land crossings" — every row in the table above, including each row's CBSA updated timestamp, read from the CBSA page on November 12, 2026 (page crawled 4:24 p.m. MST); the St-Bernard-de-Lacolle redevelopment notice, the estimates-vary note, and the roads-before-the-port exclusion, all from the same page. Canada Border Services Agency, "CBSA CanBorder" — the CanBorder app's current and forecast wait times. US-bound figures are published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as a separate dataset; no US-bound figure is stated here. This page is rechecked daily, and any snapshot change ships as a dated correction, never a silent edit.
