Pardon Services Canada would like to share information for making it easier to cross the border between the United States and Canada. Just about all the travel information available that relates to the land ports along this border are available at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) website at http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html .

The website has extensive background information on lots of details as related to crossing the border, bringing goods across the border, nexus, planning your trip, wait times, travel documents, along with guides, brochures and more.

Detailed information includes much of what you might need to know when crossing the border, and other tips for your travels.

Many visitors bookmark the website and return constantly to view the real-time traffic information for each port. On one page, a visitor can see current border wait times, weather and road conditions, traffic delays, traffic cameras, and more. Another unique site feature is the Border Traffic Calendar, which shows holidays and events that increase port congestion.

The site publishers welcome traveler and expert input and links from other sites. You can also sign up for their email newsletter, which announces important events related to the border and US / Canadian relations.

A key aspect for Canadians with criminal records wanting to travel to the United States is the ability to apply for a US entry waiver, which will allow a person to visit the US without worry. If you have a Canadian criminal record and need a US entry waiver, Pardon Services Canada’s role and familiarity with the process will ensure that all documents required are obtained in a timely manner and that your case is processed expeditiously.
