Hi Calgarians,
I am from other province and going to Calgary to do my immigration landing. Where is the nearest US border
from City of Calgary that I can take by car. I do appreciate to have the exact address and some contact numbers to inquire their immigration office times. Thank you in advance.

hi i plan to go to the border this weekend (Saturday) if i can get my passport back this week. the port is called carway, 250 km away from here, but the immigration there only opens until 630pm in the winter so i need to go early.

if you want we can carpool. what part of calgary are you at? message me.
 
Hi,
We're in SE, Calgary. I' ll be in Calgary in 24th of Dec. to 31..So most likely between these dates.

For Calgary ,the Coutes,AB/Sweetgrass,MT border will be perfect for Immigration purpose.

yeah but it's 100 km further to travel from Calgary. Carway is closer
 
You won't be entering U.S land. You will require rejection entry white form from U.S custom and return back to Canadian custom right away to show them this form and prove that you left Canada now coming back (U-turn kinda thing).

There is a free zone in the middle of 2 ports.
 
So when you exit in Carway Alberta, you have to drive to Piegan US custom border to get that form and have your passport stamped and then go back to Carway AB to do the paperworks. Do you require US visa for that trip? I believe Carway to PIegan take you about an hour to drive..

No, the 2 ports are a few meters away from each other. You do not need U.S Visa to enter free zone.

Land borders always have 2 ports right next to each other so don't worry!

Which is the nearest US major city near this POE?
 
Bad experience in Carway. I wont come back or even go there if your from out of town ( not from Alberta). Nasty experience
