Travel to the U.S. from Toronto just got a little easier.
A new U.S. Customs and Border Protection preclearance facility opened at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) on Tuesday, the first new such facility in Canada in nearly two decades. Travelers now clear U.S. customs in Toronto before boarding their flights and arrive in the U.S. as if on a domestic flight.
CBP did not respond to an inquiry over whether the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security will impact travelers clearing customs at YTZ. The agency reopened expedited Global Entry screening on Wednesday after a 17-day suspension.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
