Page 4 of 4 · Back to the first post
If anyone going this Tuesday post the info.
What other location close to Toronto open to take applications?
Like to know the location and time that they are open
As of Today, Tuesday October 9th 2018, Pearson Airport is NOT taking waivers yet. And I am aware that the voicemail says they are, and on Saturdays, but since February its been Tuesdays, and closed since July 16 2018.
Thanks for the update John.
I guess I need to look for somewhere else to drop off mine.
Any recommendation?
Yes Niagara Falls is and always HAS been the best place to hand in your waiver anyways. 90% of my clients go there, including people who live in Toronto (despite the Airport) and Windsor (despite Detroit)
Monday-Thursday 2-9pm
Sundays 5-9 pm.
There is no lineup, no waiting, and they don't allow trucks so you are never stuck in a line.
Easily the best location in Ontario
When you say " Niagara Falls" , are you referring to LEWISTON or Peace Bridge
Why is the information so bad? Why do or do they not take waivers if they say that they will be doing so?
I cannot speak on whether they are or are not a good place to hand in waivers since that is not my area of the country as you would know about those borders better than I would.
I can say that Detroit Windsor is the worse border to use in terms of crossing over and Sweetgrass Montana is the 2nd one. Way too many people have contacted us with horror stories about Detroit Windsor and even Niagara in terms of crossing over. Anyway, just my opinion based on what clients have told us.
I believe that Niagara is Buffalo?
What about Lewiston crossing? Would you consider this a quiet border?
There are 3 borders in the same area. All in Southern Ontario but all much different.
Rainbow Bridge - Best place to hand in waivers in Ontario, in the town of Niagara Falls. Easy to find. Great hours. NO TRUCKS ALLOWED. No waiting. From October to May they take waivers on SUNDAYS from 5pm - 9pm. That is when most of my clients go (during those months) and I never get a single complaint. Even though I forward my phones, I NEVER get a problem on a Sunday, just the occasional (on my way home, it was exactly as you said)
Queenston/Lewiston off the 405 highway, near town of Queenston. Decent hours BUT no weekends ever, and they get busy with truck traffic. Sometimes you go right in, sometimes you wait. No Sundays.
Peace Bridge, near Fort Erie /Buffalo - hours are just ok (Monday-Thursday 5pm-9pm) lots of truck traffic, too busy. Avoid.
This thread is about handing in your waiver. This is DIFFERENT from being denied entry. Of course when they deny you entry its a bad experience. Of course if your caught at the Rainbow Bridge its going to suck. But when you are handing in your waiver you are telling them you are not trying to cross and are there to hand in waivers. They are very pleasant 90% of the time under THAT circumstance.
Avoid 24 hour borders like Detroit. I could go into example after example of where they go out of their way to NOT take waivers, but just trust me, its worth avoiding.
If the border says they take waivers 24 hours a day, likely they have also mastered the art of making up excuses to NOT TAKE your waiver as well. Again, I am speaking about mainly Ontario borders.
