Crossing in to Canada by car

[Dan]

I know that this crossing in to Canada thread was dealt with this Spring. I looked back at it some, but what I now need from an East Sider is what do you have to have to cross in to Canada in a car. My Alabama brother-in-law wants to drive up and maybe take a two or three day trip in to Canada. Does he need to have a passport to do that? I haven't been across the line by car for years. I've taken the ferry to get my Canadian license, and have crossed by boat, but not by car.

you need a passport or i think a nexus card will work also. Doesn't hurt to have a birth cert with just in case.

we cross into manitoba with guns and a dog and all they ask for is a passport and drivers license and the proper gun forms.

also - make sure to call your bank/credit card companies and your auto insurance company to let them know when you will be there. Most cards won't work (fraud protection) unless you call them. Also, some auto-insurance won't cover you in canada or you need a special form for proof of ins.

Thanks, when are we going fishing? You and Cy ought to come up to the cabin and we'll fish a couple of northwest corner lakes.

[Dan]

Is that a leap year?

I know this won't work for someone from Alabama, but Michigan residents can also travel North America by land and sea using an Enhanced Driver's License.

That sounds good to me.  I was thinking Sept or Oct would work good for me.  Justin can hunt ducks all he wants, I would love to come and fish with you Dan.  Thanks for the invite.

Fishing is good and can be at its best, but the weather is a lot iffier. We can set Justin on the beach with a lawn chair and he can get his ducks and we can drink coffee and see what kind of shot he is.

[thedude]

what? you can't fit a 12 ga in your rod locker?

i'll just tie a string of decoys off the back cleat and we can drag them behind the boat.

CAST AND BLAST baby.
