Canada | New border crossing facility opened

The Canadian government announced the opening of a new border crossing facility in Sainte-Aurélie.

Key Points:

• The new modernized facilities at the Sainte-Aurélie border crossing are now in service.
• The new facilities are part of the Land Border Crossing Project, which is an effort by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to upgrade several ports of entry across the country to improve the border crossing experience for travelers and provide border services officers with upgraded infrastructure and technology.

Additional Information: Officials stated these new facilities are designed to deliver the border of the future and support the CBSA’s commitment to security while meeting environmental standards and allowing officers the ability to serve travelers more efficiently while protecting the community. The new Sainte-Aurélie border facility is one of the first examples of a “Base Compact” model port of entry, which the government designed for remote areas with lower volumes.
