Built for drivers who cross the border for a living

If you run Canada-US routes, you already keep a log — hours of service, ELD, the works. But none of it counts the thing that decides when you can apply for citizenship: the days you were physically present in Canada. That's a separate count, with its own rules, and for a driver crossing several times a week, it's the easiest thing in the world to get wrong.

An ELD keeps you legal. It doesn't count your days.

An ELD or hours-of-service log exists to keep you compliant on the road. It doesn't know or care that Canadian citizenship needs 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada over five years, and it won't tell you whether last Tuesday's run counts against you.

So most drivers end up doing one of two things when it's time to apply:

• Digging through months of dispatch records and old logs trying to reconstruct every crossing, or
• Guessing — which IRCC does not accept, and which can get an application returned over a handful of miscounted days.

Neither is a good place to be when your citizenship timeline is on the line.

It's not "how many days were you gone."

The counting rule is not "how many days was I gone." It's "how many full days was I entirely outside Canada" — because the day you leave and the day you return both count as days present in Canada. Full breakdown of the rules here.

For a long-haul driver, that changes the math constantly:

Do that several times a week for five years and the errors pile up fast in either direction — enough to delay eligibility or, worse, get you to apply too early.

This is exactly the kind of counting a person shouldn't be doing from memory in a truck cab. It's what BorderLog does for you.

Log a crossing in seconds, from the cab.

BorderLog is built to be used one-handed, on your phone, at the border — not filled out later at a desk. Log a departure or a return in a couple of taps and the app applies the IRCC rules automatically, keeping your physical-presence total accurate and current.

It also runs in Punjabi — so if that's your first language, the app speaks it.
