Animals Keep Visiting The Canada-US Border & The CBSA Shared Their Faves (PHOTOS)

These guys don't care about travel restrictions! 🤣🦊
Managing Editor, Canada

When it comes to the Canada-U.S. border rules, it seems not everybody has been doing what they’re supposed to.

A new post from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) confirmed that quite a few animals crossed the border over the last year and they weren’t too worried about providing negative COVID-19 tests or quarantine information!

“#ThrowbackThursday - To some of the interesting characters that our #CBSA officers have encountered this past year,” read the tweet, noting that it’s National Wildlife Week in Canada.

One of the photos shows a fox checking in at the CBSA desk. Apparently this little guy was crossing for essential purposes, though!

Another picture shows the adorable bear cub that was desperate to visit B.C. back in November 2020.
