At 8:00 a.m. Sat June 25 from U.S. to Canada there was no line. It looked like if you were 15 minutes later the line was increasing. From Canada to U.S. there was no line.
Went in at noon on a Sat. a few years ago and the wait was 2+ hours. I try to avoid that time now.
Crossed at Fort Frances on June 18, Saturday 4:15 PM--10 minutes. JJ

A birth certificate will also be needed and if you are bringing a minor bring a note from there parents giving you permission to bring them with.

cROSSED AT THE "soo", WAIT TIME GOING nORTH 15 SECONDS AND COMING SOUTH 22 SECONDS. IN 40 YEARS OF ONTARIO TRIPS THIS WAS THE EASIEST BY FAR. WILL PROBABLY PAY FOR THE QUICK TIMES NEXT YEAR. PRACTICE C-P-R (CATCH, PHOTOGRAPH, RELEASE)

On Sunday I would think you wouldn't have any wait at all.
Orange Crush Guy;
Saturday is "change over day" at 80% of the lodges; that's the price you pay for not staying in Canada longer to feed the walleye. I'll meet you next year, same time, same place. It was good to see you and meet more Americans,(you guys sure get a lot of snags!). Next year we will fly out for a day, AND you WILL put gravy on your French Fries!!
