Truckers losing millions as glitch in federal system causes delays for goods entering Canada
Persistent technical problems with a key federal border system have caused major delays for imports into Canada, leaving truckers and shippers waiting hours or even days for clearance. It’s costing the industry millions daily. The issues, centered on the eManifest digital preclearance portal, have worsened over the past two weeks, forcing some companies to revert to manual processing while goods pile up in warehouses and drivers remain stranded at the U.S. border. Industry leaders warn the disruptions expose deeper problems with outdated infrastructure, raising concerns about long-term economic impacts, supply chain reliability, and Canada’s competitiveness in global trade.
