Crossing the Border into Canada
Wondering if there will be any delay when crossing the border? Check out the border wait times online.
The Canada / US border is reputed to be the friendliest border in the world. Here are some tips to help make your crossing quick and easy:
For Visitors To The District - Information on Crossing the Canadian Border & Residents Returning to the United States
-
"The United States Government under its Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) requires all citizens of the United States, Canada, Mexico and Bermuda to have a passport or other accepted document that establishes the bearer's identity and nationality to enter or depart the United States from within the Western Hemisphere."
When entering Canada it is required that you bring documents identifying you as an American Citizen or permanent resident. Required identification is a Passport (see information below on re-entering the United States). Residents from countries other than the U.S. must have their passport and valid visitor visa if required.
Getting a Passport for the First Time: You can apply for a passport at many post offices around the country. The fees and payment methods are listed on the United States Postal Services website, along with the option to print off the application form itself.
You may need to locate which post offices accept passport applications and an appointment may also be required. Finally, you will be required to bring two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver's licence. Other acceptance facilities include many Federal, State and probate courts, some public libraries and a number of county and municipal offices.
-
Children: Canada Customs and Immigration officers are members of Child Find International. Anyone travelling with children not their own may be required to show written permission from the child's parent(s) and proper identification (birth certificate).
-
Other Countries: Visitors from countries other than the US require a valid passport and in some cases a visitor's visa. Visas are issued by Canadian Immigration offices, embassies and consulates.
Making a Declaration
Canadian Customs officials will ask your place of residence (country and city) the purpose of your visit to Canada, how long you intend to stay, and if you have anything to declare. You may be asked specifically if you are bringing alcohol, tobacco, fruit, vegetables, animals or items made from animal by-products, firearms or personal protection devices into Canada.
-
Gifts up to $60 (Canadian funds) each in value are duty free provided they do not contain alcohol,
tobacco or advertising material.
-
As long as you meet the age requirement set by the province where you enter Canada (19 in Ontario), you
may import 1.5 litres of wine or 1.14 litres (40 ounces) of liquor OR 24 x 355 ml cans or bottles of beer
or ale. Those over 18 years of age may bring 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, 200 grams of manufactured
tobacco and 200 tobacco sticks.
