Crossing into Canada. You may have heard some horror stories, about crossing the border. However if you answer questions appropriately, honestly, with no jokes, it should not be a problem. Some things to remember when coming to Canada, other then worms you cannot bring live bait into Canada. The worms cannot be in bedding that contains soil. Currently potatoes are not allowed into Canada. You are allowed to bring 1.5 litres of wine, or 1.14 litres of liquor, or 24 cans/bottles of beer per legal adult, anything above this amount and you will have to pay a duty. For tobacco products, you are allowed 200 cigarettes, or 50 cigars per legal adult, again anything above this amount and you will have to pay a duty.
Also when crossing into Canada, you will need a picture ID (drivers license, or passport), we also carry a copy of our birth certificate and social security card. You will need proof of auto insurance that is good in Canada (check with your insurance agent). In case of sickness or an accident, you should make sure your health insurance covers you in Canada. Registration papers for your car, boat, trailer, RV. If bringing a pet you will also need an Immunization certificate from a Veterinarian. This sounds like a lot to bring, but it is better to be safe then sorry. Remember all of us traveling into Canada are guests, and we should respect their rules and laws.
Preparation on your part will help make your trip the fun and relaxing one you have been looking forward to. If you are bringing your own boat, make sure the trailer is in good shape and the bearings are greased. The motor runs, you have fresh gas, it is cleaned up and ready for a week of use. Now is the time to sharpen your hooks, put fresh line on your reels, and stock up on those last few pieces of tackle you’d like to try.
