Our tour group crossed here into Canada. This is never pleasant and we were told to take only our passports into their office and not to speak unless asked a direct question. The officers were efficient and not especially rude, but the experience always makes me edgy. It went quickly enough and I was happy to leave.

Seriously awful experience. I went through there a couple weeks ago with a friend at the start of our vacation. For context, we were 2 unassuming white 18 year old guys(Canadian citizens) and we were catching a flight out of Boston to London later that day. They pulled us to the side and brought us inside and interrogated us in a really threatening manner, treating us almost like criminals, making us stress for no reason. They then went and searched our car and belongings for over an hour and a half and didn't want to give us any updates. Finally they let us go after this whole mess and finding absolutely nothing. I understanding its their job, but they could at least be a bit more friendly and understanding. Not a great first time crossing the US border alone. P.S. (It took literally 30 seconds when coming back into Canada)

We traveled from Boston to Montreal and back last weekend and had no issues with Customs & Border Service Officers. They were polite, thorough with standard procedural questions, and traffic wasn’t delayed. If I lived closer to the border, I’d visit Montreal more often.
