Do US citizens require a US Passport to Enter Canada..❓❓
Yes
What do they ask wen you get there
I love Canada ❤ 🇨🇦
I'm from quebec and crossing the border is stressing me out due to it being my first time, now I know the route thanks to you!
I Am Young And I Swear I’m Doing Chores So I Can Drive To Canada, Thats How Amazing That Place Is
It sucks since Trudeau has been in power.
@@geftiler2112 Yep. It went downhill starting in 2015. I started noticing signs of it in 2011/2012. 2009 and under was when this country was still somewhat normal.
Im going to Ontario later this year and I have significant anxiety about crossing the boarder as I have never left America. this helps me a lot. thatnks.
Glad this helps. Enjoy your stay in Canada!
Just be honest dont panic and answer the officer’s questions and you will be fine! I know it can be stressful but you’ll see you have nothing to worry about
It’s so fun! I’m in Ontario right now you’ll love it!! Make sure to go see Niagara Falls
My nerves are like gelatin. I was nervous about crossing the border for the first time in 14 years last August, so much so I failed to see a sign at the border checkpoint and the customs officer noticed. This was also the first time I crossed the border by myself. He questioned me and I was shaking inside. Thankfully, everything went well and I had a great time. Looking forward to going back into Canada for some great sightseeing this August.
"Border" not "Boarder"
Thanks for sharing!
I love Canada from French
🇨🇦🍻🇫🇷
The border crossings near Fort Erie, Ontario, 🇨🇦 are much more heavily fortified now than forty-three years ago.
Yes. And security is more high tech. X-rays/scanners can actually see the inside of your car.
@@canadatravelguideI can understand why you Canadian guys (♂️'s & ♀️'s alike) would deploy the most state-of-the-art radiological equipment upon your land border crossings. Just to let you Canadian guys know, I am a citizen of the States American via jus soli legal protocols 😢😢😢. In my lifetime, firearms have become more numerous, hold more rounds of ammunition inside their magazines, larger in sizes, heavier in masses, fire more rounds of ammunition per second, fire metallic bullets that can travel greater distances, and are more easily accessible to criminals; just to name a few. I wish you Canadian guys nothing but the very best in your efforts to keep the most powerful firearms and ammunition away from 🇨🇦. Over time, I'm afraid that the Canadian guys' efforts will become more difficult before the efforts will become easier [Good luck 🤔🤔🤔].
What a breeze. I drive back and forth doing deliveries and take the truck lanes. Its usually a quick stop unless there's a foul up with the paperwork to clear the freight. On time, and its rare I had to wait overnight at the Canada side for the paperwork snag to be solved.
Hey I’m driving up there next week to visit family in Toronto, I have my permanent resident card (Green Card) do I need a passport to cross the border?
now what about the other way around? ive heard its harder
In crossed the border from michigan to ontario i live in Alabama and went to Toronto in August 2022
did you have any problems after posting this video? I read about dashcam use in the the US Canadian border, and it seems that they don't like it. My dashcam was on and I recorded a funny interaction, but I'm not sure if I should keep the footage, let alone post it.
For years, I have been using my dashcam when crossing the border to and fro the US and vice versa. So far no problems because of it. I had a recent unpleasant experience though which I posted on RUclips. Not because of the dashcam though.
wow 5 lane changes in 90 seconds
I just went to Montreal from NY , 1-87 .. it was about a 30-40 min wait going and coming back. They ask for a passport and valid ID for each passenger. They asked where I was going...if I had any guns in my car and asked how I knew my passengers. They asked coming back from Canada if I bought anything in Canada... they also asked about my car , if it was mine and asked about my tags.
The guy asked me if i was bringing across food, then asked what kind and when i told him a couple pre cooked meals he told me to pop the trunk and went through everything. Opened my cooler, and took my eggs. Apparently you can't take eggs across the border. Common sense told me bird-flu was the reason, which is stupid. They are eggs... eggs im taking to a camp site and cooking.
did you have to show the registration or insurance?
They asked me about that .. but I had a Temp Tag on my new pickup truck as I bought it appx 60 days before crossing the border , but my tag was not expired yet... They asked where did I buy it and why I didn't permanent Plates (I had a paper plate on my back) .. so I guess they have camera when you pull up that shows the cars back end.@@cassandramoreno8374
Going to Canada now has become such a hassle that visiting Canada is off my list.
Thanks for the video, is ArriveCAN still needed to enter Canada?
Not needed. Thanks for watching!
@@canadatravelguide
Thanks 🙏
what time did you go and on what day. I’m trying to look for peak hours to avoid long wait periods..
We find that around 8am and 5pm are the most busy since there are many Canadians and Americans who cross the border for work. Also, the borders are busy when it is a holiday (ex. Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.) You can actually see the “traffic” at the border through Apple or Google maps.
@@canadatravelguide Thank you so much for this helpful information :)
That Canadian agent just started his shift. Need a warmup to catch a predator
Which one u find more difficult to crossing US border patrol or the Canadian border patrol? Thanks
So far, I find that crossing into the US is more strict in the sense that they ask more questions. It may also be because I’m a Canadian citizen so it’s easier for me to get back into Canada.
@@canadatravelguide Yes it was the same for me. Going into the US i had my trunk searched vs going back into Canada just the standard questions, not asking about food or meat.
The last time we cross that bridge 1995 going to Ohio
Do I just need my American passport to enter Canada? Anything else such as covid shots? Or pre registry online??
Yes, I believe you need to have your US passport to enter Canada but no need to present proof of COVID vaccination. Please check with Canada Government website to confirm.
@@canadatravelguide So I Must Renew my US Passport now...😌
Covid stuffs over all you’ll need is your US passport. Don’t bring any weapons pocket knives or bear spray. Also look up what foods your not allowed to bring don’t have a lot of money on you they might confiscate it and be careful with alcohol as well.
@@canadatravelguideis a USA permanent resident enough to enter Canada. Am traveling next week with my dad and brother but they have permanent resident card but I have USA passport.
There is also what is called an Enhanced Drivers license we have in British Columbia and Washington State , You need to do a background check this is a shared drivers license between both countries, It’s only for land travel not flight , look up on google
I am wondering if I can buy a monthly toll membership to pass the peace bridge anytime?!
Normally, you can pass the peace bridge going to the US from Canada and vice versa anytime and as many times as you want if you are a Canadian or US citizen with a valid passport. No need for a monthly toll. If you are not a citizen of either country, then a visa will be required. There may also be some restrictions depending on the situation of the individual. You can confirm and get more information from the websites of both governments.
@@canadatravelguideif you are a permanent resident of USA you don’t need a visa to enter to Canada.
@@ilhamfilali2452 Yes, that is right but you will still be needing a valid passport.
I'm planning on traveling Canada's Wonderland for few days by car rental, I had my passport,visas, insurance and driver license. They do through check in cars?
Normally, they don’t. It’s not their usual process. Enjoy your stay in Canada!
@@canadatravelguide will do in July
What did they asked you?
Did you meet Terrance and Philip?
Who them lol
I read where Peace Bridge is all cashless now. How do they charge you if you don't have a pass. Do the take a credit card, google pay or just send you an electronic bill per your licensed plate like Pennsylvania turnpike does?
You can use your credit or debit card to tap and pay
@@canadatravelguide thanks.
Hey, What documents do I need to cross the border?
It will depend on your citizenship. Please consult the Canadian Government website.
Do we need Nexus card to enter the border or just passport/green card? Thanks
Passport and green card should suffice.
I want to movie to Nova Scotia from Vermont when I’m 18 how do I become a Canadian citizen? I’m trying to gain as much knowledge as I can so I can prepare myself,
If you are willing to study, the quickest way will be to get a student visa and study here. Eventually you can apply for permanent residency and after a few years Canadian citizenship. You should be able to get all the information that you need in the Canadian Government website. Just search for immigration and citizenship. Good luck on your plan!
Am going next few days to visit Montreal am from Virginia so what the chick point you sagest? Because we have 3 borders checking points
I believe the most direct way is via the Champlain-St. Bernard de Lacolle Border Crossing. This is just a suggestion. Hope you enjoy your stay at Montreal!
@@canadatravelguide you mean I 87 Vermont
Yes, that’s the one.
Am I allowed to use two forms of ID such as drivers license and birth certificate?
Actually, the passport is the only requirement with the Canadian Visa if not a US citizen.
What do I need to enter Canada from Buffalo - only passport?
We are from California and will fly there. We will rent a car there probably in Buffalo.
For US citizens and green card holders, I believe you only need a valid passport to enter Canada. No need to show proof of vaccination. Welcome and enjoy your stay in Canada!
@@canadatravelguide Thx
Why did they ask about shopping or if buying alcohol? Just wondering!
They ask because you may be required to pay some duties or taxes for the goods you are bringing into Canada.
Hey, how long does it take to get through the gate US to Canada, and Canada to US? What time is the line bigger, and what time is the line smaller?
Basically, it takes the same time to get through to Canada from the US and vice versa. If you are passing through during non-rush hours, you are looking at about 15 mins. During rush hour, about 30 or more. If you are passing during holidays, it can be more than an hour.
Is it possible to enter Canada with a student visa from America?
It will depend on your citizenship. You can confirm with the Canadian Government website.
Can you use a passport card instead of the book?
Yes, passport card will suffice for US citizens. Hope you enjoy your stay in Canada!
hey guys i have to go to canada for 2 days, im a little nervous because i dont know what to bring. what do i need besides my drivers license and passport?
A passport is actually all you need. Just be prepared to answer questions like, what’s the purpose of your trip, how long will you be in Canada, where will you be staying? You should be fine. Enjoy your stay!
@@canadatravelguide thanks!
Apparently you can't take eggs across the border... i got yelled at for that after the border agent searched the trunk of my car.
retail packaged poultry products for human consumption that are clearly labelled as a "Product of the USA" are acceptable for import. Which includes Raw eggs, Chicken or frozen meat
hi
I have a non-violent class E felony. Its over 10 years old now. I read that they wouldn't allow me entry. I feel like I need to see for myself.
Would I be detained if I tried to gain entry or told to some how turn around?
Sorry, we would like to help you clarify your concern but I think it would be best if you consult with a lawyer.
@@canadatravelguide but it was quick for you in this video ? They rarely ask about criminal record or just this time they didn’t ask ?
You sound very nervous and stumbling when speaking to the border agent. This raises their suspicion. You were lucky you weren't sent to secondary inspection.
Hi, I only have USA green card but my passport has expired. Can I enter Canada? Thank you!
I believe that you need to have a valid passport even if you have a US Green card to enter Canada. Thanks for watching.
You need a valid passport to enter like any country so make sure you have that
Didn’t they ask to see or scan your passport??
They do check the passports.
Will they stamp my passport if I ask ?
For Canadian and US passports they don’t stamp it. I’m not sure for other passports
Can i still drive to the USA without covid jab? Its 2023
They don’t ask if you are vaccinated or not.
@@canadatravelguidewill my enhance license still get me in and out of Canada from the US?
@@marvintolbert2409just get your passport card. It’s cheap and easy.
Are u allowed to bring back any sort of alcohol or groceries from the USA?
Yes you are allowed to bring in alcohol and groceries into Canada from the US but there are certain rules and limitations. You can check this guide for more details. travel.gc.ca/returning/customs/bringing-to-canada/personal-exemptions-mini-guide#
Did they ask for passport?
Yes they do ask for a passport.
@@canadatravelguide I can imagine they do. Canada has stricter border lines
Can I take my dog with me to Canada
Yes you may but there may be some requirements. inspection.canada.ca/importing-food-plants-or-animals/pets/eng/1326600389775/1326600500578
Is immigration near to get your passport stamp? Thank you
Actually, the border official at the gate will be stamping the passport.
hmm, maybe, just maybe you should blur people's license plates......
Thanks for the suggestion. Privacy laws differ in each country but in Canada and the US it is not prohibited to include licence plates unless you spread derogatory information about it.
alr@@canadatravelguide
@@paarthvarshney3184i film Road i don't blur licence plate
Dude, turn off your wipers!
Do have drug dogs while crossing in car
If I’m not mistaken, they do have dogs to check for drugs but not all cars are subjected to it. Only those that are suspicious to the border agents.
It’s too bad that you couldn’t take the time to give a commentary of your trip across the peace bridge or even as you approached it, so that people would get an idea of exactly what you were doing and why you were doing it. Just watching a dash cam video with little audio is absolutely ridiculous and certainly isn’t very helpful. I’m surprised that you even bothered to allow audio while you were at the custom booth. What about the Nexus lane? I think that perhaps some people may have been interested to know that there was a Nexus lane that can be used if they have the Nexus card. And what about the tolls? It would be nice for you to let people know that the tollbooth is after the customs booth. To be blunt, your video is pretty much useless, and a waste of time.
