Located along Highway 6 on the boundary of Waterton Lakes National Park and Glacier National Park in Montana, the Chief Mountain port of entry will be open for the summer, as of May 15.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) noted the port will be open until Sept. 30.
During the 2025 summer season, the CBSA welcomed over 56,000 travellers at the port of entry.
According to the CBSA, the opening of the port of entry also allows travellers to enter Canada by water on small vessels and report to the port of entry by phone. “Boaters planning to come to Canada should review the CBSA’s reporting requirements for private boaters before travelling.”
Whether travelling by land, air or water, travellers can help speed up processing times by coming prepared with their travel documents.
Travellers are also encouraged not to travel with firearms, but if you choose to do so, be sure to check out the CBSA website for the rules on importing firearms and other restricted and prohibited goods.
