Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I live in Point Roberts, Washington, a small enclave of Washington which to get to, one must go through the Canadian and US borders every time. Therefore, I use ArriveCan a lot! I recommend downloading the app. It's very easy to use. You will need to select Discretionary as your type of travel. Just estimate the time you'll be crossing through. The Border Patrol isn't going to challenge you if you cross a little before or after the time you selected. When they physically scan your passport, your ArriveCan receipt will pop up on their computer. They will likely ask you a few questions, and you are still subject to being selected for the random Covid testing. If you are crossing from the US to Canada for Vancouver departures, you will most likely cross at the I-5 Peace Arch border. If whoever is driving decides to go to the Douglas/Pacific Hwy crossing instead (because they saw the sign with current wait times flashing), don't worry about changing your ArriveCan. As far as ArriveCan goes, Peace Arch and Pacific Hwy borders are interchangeable. For your quarantine address, put in a hotel near the port. It doesn't really matter if you're staying there or not. If for some reason you did have to quarantine, Canadian authorities would be involved, and ArriveCan would be a moot point. It's really quite a simple process. Be aware, there are times when we have waited 30-60 minutes to cross the border though! (There are also other times where we are the only car there.)
