I wasn't talking about the supposed interrogation that some on here they get everytime. I am sure it happens but it would estimate that the majority its the typical questions how long were you gone what are you bring back type questions. I would also estimate some of those interrogations are from DYKWIA people who can't even answer a simple question. The most time, at airport crossing, pre-Global Entry dealing with CBP was 2 maybe 3 min max. I didn't find it to be an interrogation.
On the other hand the first time I entered Canada by land and the first time I entered Canada by air I was interrogated by the CBSA. The air one in YYZ was around 3 hours long of being detained in immigration and then in Canadian customs.
