Question
What docs do I need to cross the border from U.S. to Canada?
Ron Cate: Passport or an enhanced drivers license.
Harder to get back into the US than it is to get into Canada. At least as far as ID is concerned. But. Don’t bother if you want to take a hand gun, or if you have a US fellony, that is also a fellony in Canada.
They won’t let you in.
Passport is the best.
But they always ask for a drivers license.
I cross the boarder at least once every summer.
Some great riding in Western Canada.

You’re going the wrong way.
Guns, lots of guns!! (Ok, just kidding!) No guns of any kind!

Any resistance of a state that touches the Canadian border you need just to have an enhanced license. Any other state you need a passport. But if you ever been arrested you need to check with their custom cause when you go for the check they may not let you in
A toque. Good mittens. And beer. We like beer.
Clean record and passport.
Passport and photo id we rode last year and we of course took our registrations for our bikes and camper trailer… we also checked in advance and had to get a special insurance paper for our bike and camper insurance, although they only asked for our photo I’d and passports! We crossed in Thunder Bay rode the whole North Shore of Superior and crossed back over in Michigan.
Pass card works as well if you’re driving, walking or taking a boat. Quicker to get and a little cheaper.
You can cross over the border Canada without a problem it’s getting back into the u.s. that you will need a passport
Going into Canada isn’t bad, It’s getting back intio the US that’s tough,,You need a Passport

Clean record to include no DUI now. And a passport.
We visited Canada a couple years ago, and we needed a passport, I have no desire to go back either, Canada is too expensive, anything you buy, not only do you pay a tax on it, but they even tax the tax, I guess that is how they pay for that so called “Free Health Care” that’s suppose to be so wonderful.

You will have to leave all your guns and knives at home.
Passport. And you need proof of insurance for Canada which you can get from your agent.
We go every summer, you only need a passport card as long as you are not flying. You cannot take any weapons of any kind into Canada, including bear spray. We have ridden all over Canada, including Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edwards Island. Beautiful country to ride through but BC is still my favorite followed by Alberta. Enjoy the trip.
Getting in to Canada is easy but dealing with the batch of assholes coming back into the US is a real pain
do not bring back any vegetables or fruit with you. they will be taken. when you buy clothes, remove the tags, and wash them once. because, you will have to pay taxes on everything you buy there.
I have a friend that was on a ride with a group. They stopped at the border to cross. He had all of the right documents. But he was turned around because he had a 4 year old DUI on his driving record.
