Canada opens first U.S. preclearance checkpoint in New York to enhance security and streamline travel.

Canada plans to open its first preclearance checkpoint in New York in 2025, where Canadian officers will screen travellers and goods before they leave U.S. territory. The operation at Cannon Corners port of entry will last two years, with Covey Hill, Quebec, port of entry closed during this period. Officers will check for items like firearms and drugs, but refugee claims will still need to be processed at a Canadian port of entry. This initiative aims to enhance security and streamline trade and travel between the two countries.
