When traveling to the US, be sure you fly directly to an American city. Do not fly to Toronto or Montreal and than onto an American destination. Clearing customs in Halifax is a breeze. The system is designed for efficiency which makes for ease for the traveller.
First at the US section of the airport, the United workers check our passport and boarding pass. We move directly to the security area, which is not crowded. The attendants are actually cheerful and helpful. Next stop is the kiosk where we complete the questions, after scanning our passports. No waiting at the US Immigration official who quickly checks our papers and tells a cheery "Welcome Home". We were then officially on American soil. No fuss. No muss. No waiting. And the whole thing took 15t minutes.
We always eat a bit to eat at the corner restaurant, which is small but has efficient staff and good food. The first step of our journey had begun smoothly. The Halifax airport is excellent.
