With the long weekend in full swing, border crossings are seeing more and more traffic, as vacationers make their way to their destinations.

Communications Officer with the Canada Border Services Agency, Luke Reimer, says although you can never truly predict how much traffic will cross the boarder, they do anticipate a jump in the number.

"Last Labour Day weekend, we did have approximately have 6500 travelers enter Canada and Southern Saskatchewan, so we just would like to remind travelers that there could be a line-up and also to, if possible, cross at the North Portal Boarding Crossing. It is the largest border crossing in Southern Saskatchewan and it also has the greatest capacity to deal with traffic. It will be operating at maximum capacity at peak travel times," he said.

Reimer also offered some advice for those looking to efficiently get across the border.

"Keep your I.D. handy when you are coming to the primary boot, make sure if you have your passport in hand. Also consider crossing in the morning, the early bird gets the worm and that is true at the boarder too. Often line-ups will build up in the afternoon and evening, so if you can come in the morning you may be rewarded with a shorter line-up," he said.

Reimer expresses as well, these tips can also apply for returning home from vacation as well.
