If you're planning a trip to Niagara Falls, watch this video before you go: Top 35 Things To Do in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada: ruclips.net/video/rHQdXBmOQyA/видео.html
Thank you for making this incredibly informative video!😃 I actually watched this before I had a chance to walk to the US side of Niagara Falls on the Rainbow Bridge last month, and your video added to the excitement of my adventure!
Thank you 🙏🏻 Thas for this video.Appreciate it,very helpful.I wonder 🤔 if we could take pets (small dog)with us. Hope you could upload more videos like this( summer trips).
Glad you enjoyed this video. Dogs are allowed, however to enter Canada, dogs have to be rabies vaccinated and you need to have the proof of it- less than 30 days between their rabies shot and the date you cross the border with your dog. Hope this helps :)
How did they handle ArriveCAN for people that don't have or don't use cell phones? I doubt there is a legal requirement for travelers to have cell phones (?)
thanks 🙏 Two questions 1. can you take a large bag with you while crossing? 2. are they still doing random Covid Testing? if yes any idea how many people are getting chosen randomly like 10%, 20% ?
1-Large luggage can be taken, there might be weight restrictions, do check the immigration website for more details. 2-To enter USA or Canada, covid testing is not required, no random testing as well. 3-Until Sept 2022, to enter Canada, ArriveCAN must be submitted with proof of vaccinations. Hope this helps, enjoy the experience!
@@thasneen How do you get luggage through the turnstile gate? My son is taking a different flight than us, so we will be crossing in rental car and he will come later, crossing by foot, but will have a suitcase? We were planning on picking him up on Canada side. Just curious on what is best way, have him walk or take taxi/Uber across to Canadian side.
With luggage have to use a separate entrance, I saw a few walking over the bridge with a large suitcase :) It’s gonna be a beautiful stroll over the bridge, enjoy!
Hada question. Thank you for the informative video. I am flying into New York from overseas. I want to see Niagara Falls both US and Canada side. Once in New York where should I fly into as I want to spend a night at the Canadian side and visit Clifton Hills and see some casinos. So from New York is there a direct flight to Niagara on the Canadian side? It will be very helpful if I can get this sector worked out so that I can return back to the US side and visit New Yorkma d other areas around it. I like to first get Niagara Falls out of the way. I have 3 to 4 days on hand for Niagara Falls but prefer to spend the nights at the Canadian side and then return back to USA side. If there a domestic airport at Niagara Falls covering both US and Canadian side? I am unaware and this will be my first ever visit. Will really appreciate if you could guide me the best way to travel from New York as my flight from overseas is direct to JFK New York and I like to travel domestically by flight to save time but not sure where to head to see Niagara Falls, is it doable by airport or must we take the long bus journey?
The most convenient option might be flying into Buffalo Niagara International Airport in Buffalo, New York. From there, you can easily cross the border into Canada by road (approximately a 30-minute drive) or by taking a shuttle service. There are rental car services available at the airport, or you could opt for a pre-arranged shuttle service that will take you directly to your hotel on the Canadian side. There isn't a domestic airport directly at Niagara Falls that serves both the US and Canadian sides. Canadian side of Niagara falls is the happening place with all the attractions & only hotels on the CA side have the stunning falls view (mentioned in the video). Clifton hill & most attractions are walking distance from all the hotels that I've showed in the video. You can also take the shuttle while walking inside the Niagara park on the CA side. Note: hotels on the US side are not close to the falls & don't have the falls view & there are only 1 or 2 hotels that are a few minutes aways from the Niagara park on the US side. Do watch this video to get an idea on the immigration process while crossing the border, Crossing the US-Canada border over Niagara Falls: ruclips.net/video/hL3OEmaBqa8/видео.html
@thasneen if crossing from US to Canada, are there any public transport or taxi near the bridge on canada side to go to Table Rock to see falls from Canada side? We do not have time to walk all the way from bridge to Table Rock?
do we still need to install the ArriveCAN as of 05/22/2023? Or do we just have to bring our vaccination record? Is it still required to be vaccinated to enter Canada?
Thanks for this amazing detailed video with most the information is available for me, We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids, we already have B1/B2 visa, and in the process of getting a Canadian Visitor visa in which application process i mentioned that i will travel to Canada by Air, but like to go by road and not by air......... if you have any idea that we could go from New York Niagra Falls to Canada Niagra Falls by a walk on the rainbow bridge, or by bus? will the officer allow us? or he/she will reject the entry because we mentioned that we will come to Canada by air?
I have a U.S enhanced driver's license (EDL). So, I know that's all I need to cross. Thus I don't need a passport since both sides accept EDLs as an alternative. However, just wondering if you know is Arrive CAN is still required for entry to the Canadian side? (I think currently Arrive CAN is only for air travel currently not but wanted to make sure.)
If you have an EDL you should have no problem getting across the border. As long as your EDL is issued by a US state or Canadian province that issues them you are good (several US states and Canadian provinces issue EDL's; unfortunately, Florida (where I'm from) does not issue EDL's).
There's a small parking lot close to Crowne plaza where we have to take the stairs with the sign pedestrian entrance to USA, I've mentioned that in the video, check @4:20
I'll be walking across the border (from Buffalo to Canada) next month for a visit before walking back across to the US side. If I'm having someone pick me up by car (and drop me back off when I return to the US), where can I instruct the driver to park and wait on the Canadian side? Also, how long is the walk over the bridge itself?
There is parking on the Canadian side close to the bridge, watch @4:11 I've shown the parking spot. Walk over the bridge is only 10 minutes. Enjoy your trip :)
Greeting of the day mam Thank you for detailing … i want to ask u one question mam i am indian passport holder having canada visitor visa … can i get pass or stay for no. Days to see USA Niagra fall at immigration?
You need US visitor visa to enter the USA niagara falls park, with the US visitor visa you'll be able to stay on the US side. Hope this helps, enjoy your vacation :)
You can go to the bridge & turn back without entering Canada (only after crossing the bridge you'll have to go through Canadian immigration). Coming back you'll have to go through US immigration & they will ask you a bunch of questions- if you've entered Canada, how long was the visit, etc. Btw, they won't walk with you, you have to go alone :)
Tha k you for this video! I'm planning to go in September to Buffalo and cross the bridge by foot Canada. Do they ask you for vaccine proof going to Canada? Or test results?
To enter Canada you have to submit proof of vaccinations (2 doses) within ArriveCAN & show the receipt at immigration. As of now until September proof of vaccination is mandatory, so please check before you travel to confirm if any changes to this rule. Watch @15:20 I've provided more details how to submit ArriveCAN. Enjoy your journey :)
If I don't carry my passport with me, can I still go onto the bridge from Canada side and go back to Canada side without going through US immigration office?
You must carry your passport, when you cross the bridge from Canadian side you’re exiting Canada so even if you don’t go to the US side, to enter back to Canada you have to go through Canadian immigration- have to show the passport & ArriveCAN with vaccination proofs.
Hi Here is my question: Why they ask what did you do in US when you are going back home? Who suppose to ask that is the US officer, right? In my understanding its not a relevant question. Where do I live in Canada is also a non relevant question if I am entering in the country as a Canadian citizen.
Crossing to the US side is not required. Only after crossing the bridge you'll have to go through US immigration. However, while entering Canada immigration will ask you questions so not sure if there will be any issues crossing halfway through without the US visa. Do confirm with the immigration.
Thanks for the very informative video! I'm planning on crossing from US to Canada as a family of 4 by next month and I'll have 2 or 3 travel bags with me, so is there a specific entrance on US side for pedestrians with luggage to coordinate accordingly with the taxi driver?
@@thasneen this is soo interesting. I never got the vaccine, and I've been hearing people say if you cross by foot they don't ask you for anything, nor doo they ask you to enter your vaccine information into an app. Soo if I'm unvaccinated, I'm not allowed to enter Canada even though I'm Canadian citizen here? Is that correct?
To enter USA, proof of vaccination is not required. However to enter Canada even if you're a Canadian citizen, proof of vaccination to be submitted within ArriveCAN app, entry will be denied without the vaccination proof; as of now this is valid until Sept 2022.
@@j.rjunior5584 Sorry, entry will be denied for Canadian citizens that’s not the right info. Here is the correct info: ArriveCAN continues to be mandatory for all travellers to Canada. It is also required to qualify for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption from quarantine and testing. If you don't submit your travel information and proof of vaccination using ArriveCAN you could be fined $5,000.

Yup taxi is there & also uber. Have fun in Niagara!
Crossed many times from US to CAN. Each time they treated me deferent !
I guess it depends on the officer.
I understand that this video is a year old now, but I've read that ARRIVECAN is no longer required for entering Canada. Is this correct?
That’s correct, not required.
do we still need to install the ArriveCAN as of 05/22/2023? Or do we just have to bring our vaccination record?
Is it still required to be vaccinated to enter Canada?
None of the above is required.

Hello, I am planning to cross the border via foot from Canada, how long does it take to walk by foot?
Walking over the bridge takes only 15 to 20 minutes, it’s around 0.5 Km.
If I don’t want to enter Canada and just want to go on the bridge to say I’ve been to another country will they let me if they walk with me

Hi! I am coming from USA Can i just cross the border halfway and be back to USA? Is it the same pathway or is different?
It's the same path, you can definitely do that, submit within Arrive CAN to enter Canada with proof of vaccinations.
Hi mam which border is easiest to cross to us from canada without passport, because I have one friend asking you
Passport is required to cross the border.
Im a US citizen, and i have my US passport CARD not the book. Can I use that to cross to Canada?
Yes. Passport cards can only be used going through a land border or seaport in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda.

Do you need passport to cross by foot, I have only my Us permanent resident card, my passport are already expired.

Nope.

Do they take credit card?
Credit card not accepted, there’s a change machine to get dollar coins.
