How are border crossings going with waivers

traveloverr22posted 4 months ago

I have a few trips planned through US in next few months and wondering how people are getting along crossing through since the recent political changes.....I am on my 4th waiver ( current is 5 year expiring in 2027)....Is it better to go through land or airports,.....as I could go through land ones for one trip. I guess depends on the agent as in the past either kind can send you to secondary or pass you right through,,,...I did read where someone had problem with his waiver saying the wrong type of job.......my waiver says good for business or pleasure.......even though I told them I was retired on the last submission....

Replies (recent first):

Do they go in detail (such as where do you work or where do you live?) or only purpose of travel, duration, funds etc during Secondary? Can it be red flag if someone is retired? Did any retired person go through Secondary? Is return flight ticket mandatory?

For us it was only ten minutes in secondary but that could be because it was 430am , they did say that it’s required every time now so you should always factor it into your travel time

@Nspringss you waited 50 minutes in Secondary?

Just traveled through yyz and secondary is mandatory (as others have said) and they advised me to come up to 4 hours before a flight. We waited 50 mins.

Went through YYZ pulled into secondary - customs agent indicated that secondary is required every time now and wanted us to be aware of this change
