For those who have crossed from the US to Canada at a land border recently, has your experience been that there are minimal lineups?

For testing that satisfies Canada’s incoming requirements we have chosen to go to a walk-in clinic that does Rapid PCR tests and then provides results certified for travel.
Done this many times. Never ever a car in front of me or behind me. Border agent is usually very bored and lonely and more often than not just wants to have a conversation with another human being after answering the usual questions. The last guy told me that we are just having a conversation after asking me some irrelevant questions.

When driving to BUF there are so few cars that the US agent waits inside the main office and only comes out to the cold booth when he sees a car on the bridge from the camera.
