Canadian border service cuts hours at some U.S. crossings
Some ports of entry normally open 24 hours a day will close earlier
No crossings where World Wide Customs has offices are directly affected
Canada is cutting its service hours at 27 low-traffic border crossings on a temporary basis as part of the government’s COVID-19 response, the Canada Border Services Agency says.
The CBSA said in a statement late Tuesday that the measures, which affect crossings in B.C., Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec, will begin at 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday and remain in effect until further notice.
The cuts mean some ports of entry normally open 24 hours a day will close earlier, while some border crossings with already reduced schedules will see their hours cut further and close on the weekends.
