Anybody drive to Canada lately?

You used to be able to pay extra to get your passport processing sped up.

Is the vaccine card a province requirement, or national? I've heard they weren't required.

We were stopped for over an hour going into Manitoba while the border agents took my two nephews into a private room to make sure we weren't kidnapping them. Had to take all of our camping/fishing gear out of our trucks too. But, they were very polite about it.

Canada is the angler-fish of countries. Better brush up on your French, hockey and poutine. You're Canadian now.

Take off, ya hoser.

You will not get in.

You were wrong thankfully.

I'm pretty sure it's nationally required. And they told me when I called that it was absolutely a requirement, but this link looks like there may be options.

We had to go back to the U.S. side to complete the electronic ArriveCan when trying to go to Winnipeg last month. We had our paper documents, didn't know it had to be electronic.

Now we do.

Going back to the U.S., from Ontario, all they wanted to know was about cannabis, so don't be smoking' a farewell doobie as you wait in line at Frostbite Falls.

LOL. Maybe in Quebec. Ever been to Manitoba? Even western Ontario. They are not French Canadians.

19 crossing at Niagra the Mounty asked me the purpose of my visit. I said I hear you have a waterfall. He was not amuse d. I've had friendlier customs agents in Russia.

I am headed to Saskatchewan in August and just realized my passport is way expired. Please tell me my gold star driver's license will get me into and back out of Canada.

How's your tunneling skills?

I drove into BC a few weeks ago.

Seemed like I defintiely needed my passport and they kind of force you to use the Arrive Can app. Using that app it was fast. Also seemed like I needed to at least try to show covid vaccine proof, which I had, but seems like it would've been required.

The rules also said I needed vaccine records for my dogs but they didn't check those.

FWIW the Canadians were polite and quick. The American lady was rude and treated me like a drug dealer over the apples that I actually bought in Washington, not in Canada. Third time driving into Canada and 3 for 3 on that.

This was my experience the couple times I've entered BC. Canadian folks were cool, US folks less so.

Even just the appearance of the crossing. Canada's entrance is low key while the US entrance has concrete barriers and visible cameras and fencing up everywhere. Conspicuously armed agents. I was glad to be going home through that rather than being a foreigner entering the US.
