This is the last month to be able to do so with the ID you've mentioned. I'd double check, just to make sure though. I've found the whole thing ridiculous. Canada is our friend. We shouldn't need passports to go to Canada (or vice versa). And since I was born, until the last few years, you drove to the border "country of origin please?" "United States" "why are you going to Canada today?" "We're going over to the falls & doing a little shopping." "Okay, go ahead." That was it. But today? Oh nooooo.... Terrorists. Apparently our government that can't keep illegal immigrants out from Mexico is going to stop terrorists from crossing the longest border in the world, more than 2.5 times longer than Mexico's border, by inconveniencing all the law abiding citizens of both countries who want to visit the other. I still haven't figured out the part about how those terrorists drive from the middle east (or wherever they're from) to the Canadian border in the first place.
I always have problem going to states, don't know why.
here is an example of real life experience
Agent: Pop the trunk
me: [fumble through the whole rental car looking for trunk release, decided to take key to back]
[open trunk]
agent:[flip through bag] How long are you visiting for ?
me: 3 days
agent:This is all the cloath you are carrying for 3 days?
me :[about to blow up] how much cloth do you think I need for 3 days?
agent: uhuh
I get pulled into the "station" all the time. Usually just sit there for 10-15 and then they hand me back my passport and tell me I can go. I swear, it's SDIFOX profiling.
I must look like a terrorist or something.
Come to think of it, the best crossing for me was when there was a token white female on the car. They were so fucking polite it was unreal. I wanted to ask if I was indeed crossing into the USA but was able to refrain from doing so.
