Landing experience at Stewart-BC (US-Canada Border post)??

[rks0101]

Hi All,

Could you please share your landing experience at Stewart (northern British Columbia) which is a US (Alaska)-Canada Border post? I mean flag poling at border post.

Thanks for sharing!!

Any one has experience to share? Thanks

I think this border is too remote. Try using the forum search for similar experience in Peach Arch, Carway, Pacific Highway, Courtts, etc.

Btw, do you live and work in Stewart BC?

I am from Terrace, which is 4 hours drive from Stewart post, hence the question!

!! Also in Terrace, also need to flagpole, also wondering about Stewart as an option! Anything you managed to find out about it?

Landing at a remote location has its pluses and minuses of course - for example:

The positive:
You don't need to wait in line for a long time

The negative:
Some officers might not be familiar with the procedure, therefore causing you to wait while they're trying to figure it out.

1. Except at Stewart, if you look at the services for CBSA, there is NO immigration services: http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/do-rb/services/imm-eng.html
2. You should probably contact CBSA before you make the drive.

Of course - the OP has already mentioned "Seems not used for landing"

Just an update: I called Immigration Canada and (after a lot of fluffing around) she finally confirmed that Stewart cannot issue Visas. The closest one up here is the Yukon/Alaska border crossing of Beaver Creek.... just a short little 23 hour drive away from Terrace lol. AND being a smaller place they're unlikely to be familiar with the process as well.

I'm opting to fly to the States.

1, Beaver Creek as the major road to Alaska is well versed in landings. And anyone going to flagpole here, should note the US Customs is 20 miles away,

Given the size, doubt it. But if you try, take a quick stop to get Hyderized.
