Having land border wait times at your fingertips helps you make an informed decision about where and when to cross the border. The CanBorder app provides estimated wait times at select ports of entry in Canada and the United States. Short on time? Use the trip planner function to generate an estimated best day, time and port of entry at which to cross the border, along with turn by turn directions to get you there. The CanBorder app is a free service provided by the Canada Border Services Agency.
Several crossings missing
Currently waiting in the Kingsgate crossing wondering what the delay is. Crossing not listed on this app.
A work in progress at best
Incomplete. Many crossing not there. Trip planner alternately doesn’t work or uses incomplete data. Quite a mess really.
Trip Planner is useless
The concept is great but the information is incomplete. There are border crossings missing. You don’t see wait times for some crossings. What’s much worse is that the trip planner ignores the missing crossings. So for example, if you want to go from Bonners Ferry, Idaho , to Yahk, British Columbia, a 40 mile trip via the Eastport/Kingsgate crossing, the app will route you through Couts/Sweetwater in Montana. That’s a detour of hundreds of miles. These omissions of crossings make the trip planner completely useless.
No Pigeon River Data
Why isn’t the Pigeon River border crossing time included in the app?
Virtually useless
Added my 2 favorite crossing to Favorites But then when you go to favorites tab it still shows all available all the way across Canada. Still need to scroll down. Then “wait” time currently listed as unknown. For everything every where. I “assume” someone thought this was a great idea - but then abandoned the app as it has no updates or information access.
Much hype, mostly useless
Only shows a few high traffic locations. Won’t show locations near me, let alone details. No useful information for crossings. The stupid thing actually wanted me to drive all the way to Vancouver and back to my area to cross when there are a few crossings within an hour or so. A complete waste of government money and our time. Absolute joke.
Need a Delorean
This app doesn’t believe that my departure time tomorrow morning isn’t in the past...it will only give me information for this time of day tomorrow or later, and keeps telling me “departure date and time cannot be in the past.” We are driving from Seattle to Vancouver and I was just trying to find out what time would be best, since we are entirely flexible. So much for using the app for its intended use, I guess.
