This video is based on an article by Elena Ashford, published on April 17, 2025, by Law360 Canada, titled "Top 10 Tips for Canadian Citizens Crossing the U.S. Border."

The Government of Canada has recently updated the official travel advisory for Canadians who intend to travel to the United States. The United States Travel Advice webpage posted by the Government of Canada states the following:

"Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders and the Government of Canada cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry or exit requirements for the United States. Individual border agents often have significant discretion in making those determinations. U.S. authorities strictly enforce entry requirements. Expect scrutiny at ports of entry, including of electronic devices. Comply and be forthcoming in all interactions with border authorities. If you are denied entry, you could be detained while awaiting deportation."
