Prepare Your Canada Declaration Before You Fly
Canada’s Advance CBSA Declaration allows eligible international air travellers to provide customs and immigration information through ArriveCAN before arriving at a participating Canadian airport. The feature is optional and may be submitted up to 72 hours before arrival.
GVC helps you prepare and review the required information, monitors the permitted submission window and sends clear instructions before your trip.
What Is the ArriveCAN Advance CBSA Declaration?
Before arrival
Eligible travellers can provide customs and immigration information through ArriveCAN before flying to Canada.
At the airport
Travellers must scan the same travel document, review the retrieved information and certify the final declaration at an eligible kiosk or eGate.
