New US-Canadian border deal

it had to come eventually eh!

source CBC:

For the first time, travellers to the U.S. would have their departure from this country recorded with Canadian border authorities.

Canadian government sources say they expect ultimately to be collecting exit information on everyone leaving Canada to all foreign destinations by land, air or sea.

The much-touted border deal will be unveiled in Washington on Wednesday when U.S. President Barack Obama meets with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

While exit monitoring should go a long way to solving the apparent disappearance of failed refugees and temporary migrants, most Canadians probably won't notice the difference.

Canadians travelling across the border by car, train, bus, or on foot would continue to clear only U.S. customs and immigration.

The only difference under the proposed border deal is the information collected by U.S. officials from travellers leaving Canada would be shared with Canadian customs.

The same would apply to travellers entering Canada from the U.S. — Canadian customs would collect the information and automatically pass it along to their American counterparts as exit data.
