TRAVELING WITH LULAV AND ESROG
TO CANADA
CBSA (Canadian Border Services Agency) have made inspectors at border posts
between Canada and the United States aware of the upcoming Succos Holiday. At
the same time, discussions have taken place regarding arrivals at Montreal Pierre
Trudeau International Airport.
People who are traveling with Lulav and Esrog will be questioned as to these items,
which can be brought into the Canada for personal use only. Once these items
have been cleared and are free of pests and/or diseases, they will be released.
Members of border inspection are sensitive to the handling of these items, and
will ensure at all times that the passenger opens, unwraps and rewraps the Lulav
(including Hadassim & Aravos) & Esrog. In order to avoid delays, the Lulav and
Esrog should be easily accessible.
We have been asked to remind all travelers to have all of their travel documents well
prepared and up to date. Canadian citizens, who are traveling by car, with birth
certificates and not passports, should please ensure that these are original or a very
clear, legible copy. Please be aware that inspectors will process passengers as quickly
as they can, but delays could occur with unclear documentation.
We take this opportunity of wishing you
and your families a good Yom Tov.
Yours Sincerely,
Rabbi Saul Emanuel
Executive Director
