The Canada Border Services Agency says it will adjust hours of service at nine land ports of entry in British Columbia starting November 1, 2026. According to the release, the new hours take effect at 2:00 a.m. Pacific Time on November 1 and run until 2:00 a.m. Pacific Time on March 14, 2027, covering the winter season.CBSA says the change keeps Canadian ports aligned with hours at the neighbouring U.S. ports of entry. The release connects the adjustment to British Columbia’s decision to adopt permanent year-round daylight saving time while the United States continues seasonal clock changes, saying the alignment allows better coordination between Canada and the United States.The nine ports and their new hours, all Pacific, according to CBSA:- Aldergrove: travellers and commercial, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., seven days a week- Carson: travellers 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily; commercial 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday except holidays- Cascade: travellers 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily; commercial 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday except holidays- Chopaka: travellers 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily; commercial 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday except holidays- Fraser: travellers and commercial, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., seven days a week- Midway: travellers 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily; commercial 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday except holidays- Nelway: travellers 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily; commercial 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday except holidays- Pleasant Camp: travellers and commercial, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., seven days a week- Waneta: travellers 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily; commercial 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday except holidaysFor Lower Mainland travellers, Aldergrove and Fraser will share the same 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. daily window for both travellers and commercial traffic, as will Pleasant Camp.CBSA advises that if a port of entry is unavailable, travellers should use an alternate port of entry.
