Rainbow Bridge TN & L Visa Appointments
Updated August 23, 2026 • CBP calendars last checked Aug 23, 2:53 PM ET
The Rainbow Bridge sits right beside the falls, linking Niagara Falls, Ontario with Niagara Falls, New York. Its port of entry handles TN and L (USMCA) adjudications by appointment on CBP’s scheduling portal, the same system used at Peace Bridge and Lewiston-Queenston.
Applicants often check only one bridge and conclude nothing is available. On any given day, Rainbow Bridge can have openings the other two crossings don’t, and the reverse is just as true, so the practical move is to watch all three calendars at once.
That is what we automate. When a Rainbow Bridge slot opens, whether it is fresh availability or a cancellation coming back, you get an email within minutes of our detection, with a direct link to CBP’s booking page.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rainbow Bridge better than Peace Bridge for a TN appointment?
Neither is inherently better: both run the same CBP appointment process for the Port of Buffalo. What differs is day-to-day availability. The best strategy is to take the earliest slot at any of the three crossings, which is why we monitor all of them together.
Where exactly is the Rainbow Bridge crossing?
It connects downtown Niagara Falls, Ontario with Niagara Falls, New York, directly overlooking the falls. If you are coming from the Toronto area it is roughly a 90-minute drive, similar to the other Buffalo-area crossings.
Are you affiliated with CBP or the U.S. government?
No. TN Visa Alert is an independent monitoring service. We only track publicly available appointment information and we do not provide legal advice. Bookings always happen on CBP’s official portal.
