I still can use Europe as an efficient model: In all european airports have dedicated lanes for european passport or national ID holders with expedite entry and other lanes for all other countries passport holders and they still doing well and entry is quite fast and effecient.

And I am sure immigration officers on both sides of the borders can distinguishe between Canada and USA citizens from other countries citizens
