it's been a couple years since i've dealt with canadian/usa customs but my many experiences with them at vancouver have always been: piece of cake going into canada. their customs people are more like greeters or hosts-hostesses...never had more than, "business or pleasure...?" asked of me. but they would be a bit bossy...telling me to 'have a good day, eh!" and all that...

but coming home was ALWAYS a hassle...especially when i don't have my birth certificate! a driver's license, ccw permit, ss card...all that was never enough w/o catching grief...

good luck

He has done this before when he traveled to europe but of course he went by plane.. But he got to europe no problem and stayed for a while and worked! And he even traveled to and from other countries in Europe quite frequently. A couple of times he went back to America it was no problem for him.. But he has heard that security in Canada is very tight after 9/11, he asked me to post this for Rating: 5
