Travel into Canada through Saskatchewan’s border crossings dropped this year.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has released its 2025 year-in-review, detailing activity at its 14 ports of entry in the province.

From Jan. 1 to Oct. 31, about 480,000 travellers entered Saskatchewan, down from roughly 543,000 during the same period last year.

Officers made 196 illegal narcotic seizures, including about 30 grams of opioids, one gram of cocaine and 2.5 kilograms of illegal cannabis. That is roughly 60 fewer drug seizures than last year.

The CBSA also seized 25 firearms, 24 prohibited weapons and more than 1,000 gun or magazine parts. Last year, officers seized 22 firearms and 53 prohibited weapons.

Officers also confiscated about $72,000 in suspected proceeds of crime, nearly double last year’s total of $38,000.

Scott Kienlen, corporate chief for the Southern Alberta and Southern Saskatchewan district, said he is proud of the CBSA officers.

“They conduct a lot of hard work, screening travellers and goods coming into the country and I think this shows a record of the good job that we’re doing,” he said.
