Border Services Changes Hours because B.C. Isn't Changing Its Clocks
The schedule shift will keep service hours aligned with U.S. ports of entry as B.C. stays on daylight time year-round.
- The Canada Border Services Agency will adjust operating hours at nine British Columbia land crossings beginning Nov 1 to maintain service alignment with neighbouring United States ports as seasonal time changes diverge.
- British Columbia's adoption of year-round daylight time, or PCT, creates a temporal gap with the United States, which continues seasonal clock changes, necessitating operational shifts at the border to prevent service misalignment.
- Nine affected crossings—including Aldergrove, Carson, Cascade, Chopaka, Fraser, Midway, Nelway, Pleasant Camp, and Waneta—will see schedules shift by one hour to match United States operations, while several larger crossings remain 24 hours.
- The Canada Border Services Agency says adjustments ensure operational coordination for inadmissible travellers directed to return immediately, adding that synchronization provides "greater clarity for all travellers as to when the ports of entry are operating."
- Modified schedules take effect Nov 1 at 2 a.m. and remain in place until the United States spring forward time change on March 14, 2027, ensuring consistent service alignment during winter months.
