Today is one of the biggest shopping days in North America is luring Canadians to the United States, which will likely tie things up at many border crossings in Saskatchewan.

In order to make Black Friday go smoothly, Sean Best with the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), has some tips on speeding up the process.

They include having proper identification and shopping receipts ready ahead of time, and knowing your price limits.

“Travellers are allowed up to $50 to bring back if they're away for 24 hours, and $400 if they're away for 48 hours,” said Best.

However, that only applies to purchases that are not duty-free, otherwise people would have to pay the appropriate duty amount.

Best adds, people can also check travel wait times at different border crossings on twitter.

“We usually expect about a 10 to 20 per cent increase in traffic from our Remembrance Day weekend. So that being said, this year's Remembrance Day weekend was about 30 per cent busier than it was in 2009.”
