I have some relatives visitors coming at Buffalo Airport from Newyork . I was planning to pick them and drive them back to toronto/Missisauga.

Any advice on which bridge should I use to pick them up and how is crowd/line up at border controls to plan for the trip. They have visitor visa. any tips/pointers will be appreciated.

Peace bridge is the most convenient and I find the wait lines to be minimum in comparison to nearby broders.
You can also visit Niagara falls while returning back .

Thank you Ashwani G. Any other tips/suggestions welcome , as relatives are senior citizens, how is the waiting time at customs ...

Waiting time at customs is not predictable as it depends upon thousand different variables.

Just light up the diya and ask Maa Durga to shower blessings . Friday is around the corner and curfew time will be over .

If you are having a Party, I mean with a punch etc., you can get a Liter of the best EACH and if there are any smokers, then 200 Cigarettes while they cross. (No need to buy if they don`t drink or smoke) and the family can bring in $10,000 Canadian per family also. Ask them to wipe their bags inside and outside with a clean moist towel BEFORE Packing. There are sniffer dogs at the secondary inspection. Please carry the Passports, and letter of invitation etc., and keep it handy IF They ask. (Any Insurance policy also for their stay here if the need arises.)

There is a visitor`s Gallery at LOCK 3, and you can take them to see the function of the locks if there is a ship passing through them. Check the same with the SEAWAY people. (H2O)

Here are the wait times as this one gets posted. You can check before the start.
