US President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are set to announce a deal that will reject asylum seekers at unofficial border crossings.
The agreement comes as the US and Canada have both experienced an increase in migrant crossings.
Officials from both countries will be allowed to reject asylum seekers heading in either direction.
The deal is part of efforts to reduce an influx of migrants at Roxham Road, an unofficial crossing between New York state and the province of Quebec.
Canada will create a new refugee program for 15,000 migrants fleeing persecution and violence in South and Central America as part of the agreement.
The deal is a modification to the 2004 Safe Third Country Agreement and will close a loophole that prevented Canada from turning away those crossing the border at unofficial crossing points.
The new US-Canada agreement could take effect quickly as it does not require the approval of the US Congress.
