Facts and practical information

The border between Canada and the United States is the longest international border in the world. The terrestrial boundary is 8,891 kilometers long. The land border has two sections: Canada's border with the contiguous United States to its south, and with the U.S. state of Alaska to its west. The bi-national International Boundary Commission deals with matters relating to marking and maintaining the boundary, and the International Joint Commission deals with issues concerning boundary waters. The agencies currently responsible for facilitating legal passage through the international boundary are the Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. ()
