Why Choose
Declare customs early
Submit your customs and immigration questions up to 72 hours before flying into Canada, expediting your arrival process.
Reduce wait times
By submitting information in advance, you can spend less time at airport kiosks, contributing to shorter lines.
Review and update
Your declaration can be reviewed and edited before final certification upon arrival at the airport.
