It may be waiting for clearance of border personnel. That is either country lack of personnel.

And the CBSA has a history of not wanting to staff Pacific Central Station even not when on a "work to rule" strike or coming off a pandemic.

There's many different talks, but it's looking to be around the beginning of September. For months I've been saying that September 7th, the hypothetical day for many restrictions to be lifted, would be a good day. We'll see if I'm right.

I currently have to commute by air, and both US CBP and CBSA have been excited when they see me in uniform, and they ask me if we're running across the border yet. Clearly they can't wait!
