If Canadian vacationers aren't prepared, re-entering the country can be a time-consuming ordeal, as border agents conduct extensive searches before allowing re-entry. To help expedite the process, the Canada Border Services Agency is providing Canadians with a few travel tips.
For instance, the CBSA states residents can save time and energy by avoiding the Canadian border during afternoons and weekends, as these are peak travel times.
Secondly, the source says everyone should have identification readily available, regardless of how old each person is.
If Canadians purchased merchandise in the U.S., CBSA says Canadians should have all receipts on hand, as a border officer may ask to see them.
The source also says residents should be aware of what goods are prohibited or restricted from entering Canadian territory if they were purchased in another country. A full list of these items can be found at CBSA's website.
Re-entering Canada isn't the only time when Canadian travellers may run into problems. Ocassionally, they encounter problems while on vacation and they re-enter the country with less than what they left with. Travel insurance may be able to replace lost or stolen personal effects.
