Travellers will have a more limited daily time span for crossing the Canada-U.S. border in the new year due to adjustments in operating hours at dozens of land ports of entry, which Canada’s border agency says will “enhance” security for both countries.

The change is coming to 35 Canadian ports of entry beginning Monday, Jan. 6, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced in a Nov. 18 news release, noting that the United States is also adjusting service hours at many of its ports of entry.
