Travellers
Notice: Cannabis
Despite the fact that cannabis (marijuana) has become legal and regulated in Canada, it remains illegal to take cannabis across Canada's national borders, whether you are entering or leaving. In this way, the CBSA's appeals process has not changed. Remember that you have the option of filing an appeal online using the E-appeals electronic form.
For more information on the new cannabis law, consult cannabis (marijuana) legalization.
