Canada making border crossing change that will impact Americans

Source: msn/Newsweek

10h


The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will scrap its long-running Remote Area Border Crossing (RABC) Program, a system that has allowed thousands of U.S. travelers to enter through remote northern crossings without reporting to a staffed port of entry.

Why It Matters

The change, set to take effect in September 2026, will replace the permit-based system with a telephone reporting procedure, requiring travelers to check-in with Canadian authorities after entering the country, according to a press release.

As of September 14, 2026, all travellers entering Canada through remote areas of northern Ontario or from the Northwest Angle into southern Manitoba, must report to the CBSA at a port of entry or a designated telephone reporting site.

Under the current permit-based RABC scheme, approved travelers, largely U.S. residents, have been able to enter Canada through specified remote areas without reporting at a staffed port of entry.

I wouldn't think saying this and giving MAGA's an opportunity to cause some problems in Canada.
