Easy for you to run your mouth when you're 1500 miles away. I'd like to invite you to Cayuga later this month so you can tell us how you really feel. I'll pay your admission.

Make sure you have destination you are traveling to and Home correct. I almost always say I am from Phila pa, when I actually live in suburbs with a langhorne pa address. Border guards do not know this.
I was delayed because of that comment.

Whatever is on your license is where you live/ going

That could get confusing. I have a Langhorne mailing address but live in Upper Holland, which is part of Northampton Township.

If they ask, wouldn't where you live just be the address on your license?

Have had no issues going into Canada, asked where we were going and why. Did get searched returning to the States one time, US side searched trailer and car. My guess is neither side wants you transporting and selling things.

The only time I have had an issue going into Canada was when I was going to report on a race at Grand Bend. They had no problem with me entering as a reporter but they wanted to know why I had cameras with me. I told them I was staying a few extra days for sightseeing and there was no problem. If I had said I was shooting the race, it would have been a problem.

Same rules that the U.S. Border enforces. Bring Passport or apply for NEXUS card.If you have been arrested or did time they won't allow you into Canada.( Same rule as the U.S). No weapons, make sure that you forget bullets from a hunting trip. I always make an inventory of the equipment you have in the track and trailer, you might never be ask from an agent but all you need is an ahole to ruin your week-end. Leave the racing gas at home, buy it at the track.Environment laws can be a bitch. Michigan enhance licence isn't accepted in Canada anymore. Just be prepared. everybody has a horror story to tell, don't be one or an ahole.In Canada and in the U.S. you need the DMV ownership of the car if it was a licence on time or another, if it;s a body in white you need a Notarize paper saying the car was built from parts.If you don't have a DMV ownership leave the race car at home because if they check it will be confiscated in the U.S or Canada... if they check. Good luck and have fun.lol
