Canada border crossing

I was told 24 hours from into to out of Canada. I have no idea how that amount of distance can be done in such a short period of time however as long as you don't delay who is going to check?
quote, I think it says in and out of Canada does it not??? It did not say anything about transiting through the Yukon or am I not reading Veebyes response right, Thank You.

From Blaine Washington to Tok Alaska is 36 hrs or 1854 miles so somebody has their head up their butt, not gonna make that in no 24 hrs.

It’s 24 hrs through the Yukon, not Canada.
24 hrs Yukon

Even that might be challenging, weather depending. :E
How's it going, Soup? :B

There is nothing better than getting a direct response from Canadian border officials & print it out.

Having said that I have some AK resident friends about to depart the Midwest next week to ferry their 5er home to AK. The word that they got from Canadian Immigration & Customs is that transiting by AK residents is fine, assuming virus free etc., & providing it is just that, a transit trip. No scenic detours. No stopping for a few days without good reason.

Just don't turn it into a recreational trip. I have no idea of CG availability so at the last chance to dump & refill I'd be inclined to do just that.

Respectfully Lakeside 013104, US Border Protection & immigration have absolutely no say on who can or cannot enter Canada. That is entirely up to Canadian officials. You don't even stop at a US checkpoint on crossing into Canada.

You need to call both the US and Canadian border patrol.

Border Patrol (BP) (green uniforms and white/green vehicles) generally work between the Ports of Entry (POE), INA212 laws.

If you want accurate information on rules about exiting and entering the United States, check with the Ports of Entry (POE), where the Officers wear blue uniforms and drive white/blue vehicles. These folks are the ones working in the 'booths' at the POEs. They are US Customs & Border Protection Officers (CBP), very different from Border Patrol Offices.

BP (green) Officers main focus is about illegal immigrants with second focus on illegal narcotics.

CBP (blue) Officers have vastly more legal authority than BP Officers, in order to conduct enforcement of laws for 44 other agencies within this country.

Just got this from Canadian Border Services Agency, in response
To my question on their FaceBook page. I asked, can Alaskans cross the border to drive home?
Their official answer to me is “yes”. Pls read their answer below:

Yes - if your trip is essential and asymptomatic – for example travelling to get home - you may transit through Canada. You are asked to limit your stops along the way and self-isolate in your vehicle. If you need to stop (to use the facilities) – ensure you are practicing safe social distancing.

Additionally, for any period of time in which you are not travelling, for example if your transit requires you to spend the night in a hotel, then you are required to self-isolate as well.

If your trip is recreational in nature ie fishing trip – even if you are asymptomatic - then it is deemed non-essential and you will not be allowed entry to Canada to transit through to Alaska.

I entered Canada April 6th @ 7pm thru the Sumas crossing with NO problem. Alaska Plates,drivers License and Passport showing my Alaska address. They ask a few standard questions and health questions. The same on health questions when entering Yukon Providence. Roads in good shape, LOTS of Buffalo on the road North of Stone mountain. Took me 4 days from Vancouver Wa. To Wasilla Alaska. I have 1000 mile range on my truck (2 tanks) keep a eye on your fuel, North of Ft. Nelson alot of places are closed. Drive safe and have a good trip.

Except for some crazy Alaskans trying to get home, who else would drive that route at this time of year?? :W

Hey! It's spring time out there and the weather is very nice. If it wasn't for being in quarantine myself for just returning home, I'd be out there enjoying it.

I knew that!!! :B

The Yukon government isn't drawing a line in the dirt with their 24hr wording. They know that 24hrs isn't enough time. But..it will allow an intervention if they find a traveler flaunting the trip..turning into a vaca drive.
