Canada Border Crossing from USA on foot

- Crossing the border from USA into Canada on foot across Rainbow Bridge.
To get to Canada from the USA, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, New York USA into Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.
Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.
There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

Seven years ago, I rode my motorcycle around the perimeter of the USA. I approached Niagara Falls from the east side, stopping every mile or two and seeing the mist rising better with every stop. I reasoned I could view the falls much better from the bridge, so on a whim and without farther ado, headed across the bridge, not realizing it was an International bridge and I was leaving the USA in so doing. I did not have my passport with me and, at the Canadian border, I was asked some questions, like if I was camping or motelling? I had motelled it all the way and said so. I was let in without farther ado and spent a couple of hours walking around, viewing the fantastic scenery and having lunch. When I recrossed the bridge, the guy at the 'gate' asked for ID and my passport. I told him I didn't have a passport.....he calmly reached over my shoulder, extracted the key from my ignition, asked for what ID I did have and started typing on his computer. He was able to confirm my identity, but told me if he hadn't, I'd have been there a while....Valuable life's lesson, and, at the time, I was 73.
As an American 20 year old from the American side of the border I have walked across into Canada many nights and stumbled back home several hours later.
Fort erie ftw
From Niagara Falls US and when I was growing up there in the early 60's New York's drinking age was eighteen while Ontario's was (I believe) twenty at the same time. Prospect Street on the American side was the first street off the bridge and was just a row of cheap bars and all the Canadian kids use to come pouring across from as far away as Toronto and beyond. Even when I came home from leave from the Navy and the Air Force before that, always had a good time there.
BornBuffalonian any tips for buffalo
You guys are the tourists we like, cmon over to merchant ale house in st catharines for a beer, its about 15-20 min from the queenston lewiston bridge
@@bobsit1945 It is now 19 years old in Ontario to drink *legally.*
I just found this and it brought back great memories. September 24, 2013, 4 years ago, I walked into Canada and then back. I had a great walk and only wish I'd made a video like this. Thanks for the memories!
Excellent video. Straight and to the point. Thank you.
Thanks so much. Our family is going there in July 2019.
Canada is the best country in North America.
The USA is full of obese, rude, arrogant, low IQ'd, gun toting, religious people, and Mexicans. There are seemly more Mexicans in America then there are Americans. Canada has nice friendly people, good dairy, free healthcare, gay marriage, no guns, lots of space, nice cities, and less illegal aliens. Canada is way better than the USA.
Have you even been to the United States you ignorant fuck?

#1, Another thing you need to know about America: We have FREEDOM OF SPEECH HERE. That means that if I don't like something, even if I don't like this country, I'm free to openly say so. Don't like it? Move to North Korea. It's my opinion, and I can express it if I want, so get over it.
#2, What did I say in my original post? Oh yeah:
""The USA is full of obese, rude, arrogant, low IQ'd...People"", thanks for leaving idiot comments and helping to prove my point even further, without even realizing it.
#3 Oh no, a typical dumb American just called me the "f" word! I'm so offended! Guess what, I just flagged you for hate speech! Have fun with that!
I would like to only visit Canada, I still want to stay in the USA.

Nah, that's obviously Brazil you're talking about.
Nice pictures of Niagara Falls. It brings back memories of my honeymoon in 1972. I enjoyed your video, very informative if you are going to Canadian for a short trip.
THANK YOU MUCH, FOR THIS TH-cam.I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO AMERICA OR CANADA BUT THESE TWO NATIONS ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. MY FIRST TIME TO WATCH.
Amazing thanks for sharing I love the view it's just amazing
thanks for sharing
What a beautiful day !! Perfect skies and no wind.
Thanks! That was a great video!!! We are going to Niagara soon. Can't wait!
The 1980s in Niagara Falls, Ontario was fantastic. We could cross rather easily from the USA to Canada and back, we used to see bands play in various parts of Canada, including Toronto! Great times!
Wooow I was there in 1980 too first. Since many more times.
It apears that the crossing you used is one that is less known. However if it is the one I think, I remember driving into the U.S. vis this route when the Raimbow bridge was a 3 hour wait and overloaded. This one entered the U.S. underground, and fortunately the U.S. customs officer was able to give me dorections from there to the Robert Moses Parkway to go on eventually to Erie PA.
Good Video
Short and sweet
Thank you for posting. 😎
@4:55 This was an iconic spot. So I have my dad's picture at this place back in 1999. This view remains mesmerizing.
very nice video you made it for us thanks
To think I have I been living in upstate New York all this time and did not know about this. I am totally doing this with my daughter next summer!
I used to live in Syracuse and have been over to the other side of the falls multiple times, wonderful area
Wow amazing thank you very much for exploring the content about canada and us
And the BIGGEST difference is .. when you walk into Canada and you are met by Canadian Customs/ Border officers and you are treated with DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND SPOKEN TO BY PEOPLE WITH MANNERS. Any and all questions are posed in a friendly manner and the words please and thank-you are used and heard often. When you go the other way.............
not always
,
You do not need to come back to the USA ever and if you live here, MOVE OUT!
totally agree with you. when we went to canada the border patrol were so kind. the american border patrol on the other hand...
Totally agree with you. My famyly and I had a very bat time at the US checkpoint, we were treated as terrorists by dumb and rude officiers.
amsterdope
Totally agree with you.
The truth is, there is no border on this planet. That line is drawn by man, and Canada and USA are basically the same :)
The truth is that many mammals mark territory and it is natural to do so.
Amen
Think of USA and Mexico, they have a wall, and for Canada they don't.
***** 76% of Canada's population is white which is the same as the US.
o D a n i e l That's a good thing bro, because the U.S. crime rate is also way higher thin Canada so
Thank you lovely film
Thanks for upload 👍❤️
lived in both countries extensively, Canada far superior hands down
fuuny, how with just a 2 mins walk, you can enter the civilized world.
Funny because the U.S. Is 90% cities.You guys live in the middle of nowhere,And all of you like cavemen with beards and stupid accents.At least we know how to speak English,and not make up words.
Rodoandy Hernandez if anybody knew how to speak English properly it would be Canadians because we were a British colonial country for much longer than the USA. BTW.. English is derived from England. In case some Americans thought they came up with it. Also, the US is full of cities and that is why it has a ridiculous amount of pollution and doesn't protect many natural habitat. So congrats if you thing ruining the earth makes you more civilized.
***** and Americans don't? American English gets worse the farther down south you go. The reason we pronounce things differently I'm Canada is because we use the proper vowel sounds. As for slang, you will get that any location you go
Soy muy mexicano jejeje
+Bruni I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you.
I walked the same bridge (Rainbow Bridge) last week. Such a beautiful and pleasant area to visit! :)
Fantastic vid dude!
my wife was recently to Van Couver and she brought back a polyester 20 dollar bill...the Australians were the first with this and now many countries use it to foil counterfeiters.
im canadian and ive never seen a maple leaf. thats because the maple leaf is a symbol of eastern canada. no westerner has ever seen one.
Kevin K didn't France gift the us the Statue of Liberty and didn't they help the us become a country
Made a comment on here a year ago about being from the Falls and was thinking about going back. Well, I did this past September for the fiftieth class reunion of Niagara Falls High School class of 64. Was surprised and disappointed at the deteriorating condition of Niagara Falls USA but at the same time happy to be home. Crossing into Canada and back was much more strict then when I was growing up but feel that it is needed. Was happy to be home.
Bob Sit nice place in the word
thanks. very informative
Last month I crossed border two times to see this beautiful view by walk nd visit buffalo from canada. Amazing experience and i came to knw that canadian side falls is far better than american side. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful Canadian flag
I've always liked to walk across the bridge!
thank you for good video. Nice and kind reporting.
I miss the days when you just needed your regular ID. Damn 911!
Passport is also an ID !
Wait, this place should be protected because people can bring guns into Canada.
uchihasurvival Actually the state canada is right now bordering is very ANTI GUN please do me a favor a big one RESEARCH OR SHUT THE FUCK UP !!
Jude Samuel I'm trying to bring the awareness of smuggled guns into Canada and its possible routes. Meanwhile, do us all a favor and attend your English classes.
uchihasurvival People dont smuggle guns into Canada if that were to happen alot more crime would generally happen such as murder or bank robbery. Also I was talking about this specific border Canada/New York Ny is an anti gun state so there is a very little chance smuggling will happen take it from me. I live in the state you can't tell me that smuggling goes on here. Also why did you decide to bring awareness in the youtube comments especially where there is a controversy on which country is better your just a trouble maker smh bruh get a life.
uchihasurvival u still have to go thru immigration on the other side of the bridge.... u cant just walk into canada at an official border crossing. going thru those gates without your passport is basically stranding yourself on the bridge
The building at the end of the video where the people are lined up at is just the same as the one on the new york side. You have to speak to a border official, they check your passport and can search you. Bringing a firearm into either country will be just as difficult.
This is calming and thrilling at the same time. Could watch this all day. Isn't a deep powerful river so fascinating? I want to make it there one day. Thank you for sharing this
Anita Wandinger; I have traveled the world, been on six continents, but consider Niagara Falls to truly be one of the world's top wonders.
Great video!
Good stuff... Welcome to the cleanest,safest country on the planet...Google it!
steerhead9 Long live sacred Canada..
steerhead9 Google reveals that SIngapore is the cleanest, and that Iceland or Norway are the safest...
I live in Canada, no where near as safe or clean as European countries....
+MLG Roosevelt very much depends which European country you're talking about
Peter Griffin hey
Why no passport is required to enter canada?? I just drove into Quebec province this past weekend from the USA and indeed they asked for my passport and green card!!!
Beautiful country, I love the country
In just took a break from watching a coming of age film, The First Time Down' It (1969) where a trio of boys walk across this border. Jacqueline Bissett is in it. Thanks for the upload.
I don't get it. It seems most people drive into Canada and come back on foot. What gives? Something to do with the Niagara Falls Casino, perhaps?
they lose their cars to gambling 😂
maybe
@@ninosanvithian8116 LOL!
WHAT'S *THAT*?!?!?!
Oh, it's just clean air, never mind.
?
+YupIt'sMe TV shhh hes trying to be funny
Mindraker1 u can't see air tho lol
E N G L A N D I S A C I T Y ? Oh really?
Yeah, I'm sure air that is all contained within the same narrow area between these places in the USA and Canada is radically different in quality, LOL. What a delusional comment / attempt at being funny.
Great vid!!
Thank you for sharing this video... Nice :)
I am going to visit Canada this year InshaAllah
Don't want u here
@@heinz5714 hahaha
One DOES simply walk into Canada...
^_^
Not really, you get interrogated at Canadian customs at the end of the bridge and you might be denied entry if they desire so.
jathurshan
I’ve been denied entry into Canada before, it’s hard to get in.
Yeah I don't think it's nearly as easy as he made it sound.
@@musicfan28 Just breaking traffic laws or omitting declaring some food at the customs can deny you entry for 5 years.
Thanks u sir love from Guyana
My family used to go there every summer I love Canada and miss it so much
Do you have to present a U.S passport when entering Canada, or is that only important when you're reentering your country of origin?
This is wrong, wrong, wrong. You need your passport going both ways.
You only need a passport coming back into the US. But you can get away with just a birth certificate and a drivers license.
Passport, passport card, enhanced driver’s license.
Yeah, he's misleading people a bit. A driver's license is enough to get back into the U.S.
Not every part of the border has gates...I've seen people walking over through the woods in Montana.
True. Some people from the province of Alberta walked in to the USA without knowing they crossed the boarder. I believe they where playing Pokemon Go
TruthSeeker Pokémon is illegal in Canada. 😜
This is what I'm after.. i wanna know which towns I can just walk into Canada coming from the US. I wanna hangout there for a while.
When was the last time u saw that
@@jett-rampartflyer2852 The town of Derby Line, VT. and Rock Island, PQ. at the top of I 91 are like a single town with the border line right through the library and some houses.
Nice video, I enjoyed
Dear Ryan, Great Video.
However, biased.
Forese83 - Thats right, I wish he had a video Canada to USA
i find that New York USA Niagara Falls is shit, stores are close down nothing really happens over but on the Canadian said there are lots of things going on.
Well what do you expect on the boarder
fuck u idiot... canada do tourist shit on there to get money some shit, but america dont need that kind of shit to get money, it just a fucking border... fucking shit Canada have no money. and shit
+Jack Poon Canada does have money and we spend it on our people, sure there are some stuff we need more then others . USA is in debt by a lot to china, USA needs to put more money towards there cities like detroit and Buffalo then towards there army.
Jack Poon--increase your vocabulary so you don't embarrass other Americans with your repetition of vile words.
Ocean Blue what is american on the Canadian side?
Whose supposed to change the lightbulb on the lampost between the 2 flagpoles..ha.
I think USA.....but from where this lamppost gets the electricity USA or Canada??
mexicans who else
maybe the 2 countries take turns..
😂😂😂
probably canada since we build a bridge for the USA when they wanted it once but we made a dumb deal that said "sure we will build it for you"
I’ve been at the falls twice while visiting some friends in New York State! Was blown away by beauty of the falls👍👍 definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!!! Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Hej, skulle du vise dokumentation på at du var færdigvaccineret skal selv til Canada nemlig, og overvejer også en hurtig tur til buffalo
@@boranoguz1357 mit besøg der var længe før Corona, kan derfor ikke besvare spørgsmålet
its late but welcome and thank you for visiting us. please come again anytime
When you cross the middle of the bridge you are physically in Canada but not "officially" as you stated. You are not officially in a country before you pass the check point.
Legally in Canada they are. Break a law and go to Canadian prison. So officially they are in Canada the moment they step on.
Don't matter. A border is a border. Once you've passed that light post, you can fill in Canada on your travel map. What about in Europe where there are no border checkpoints, at least there weren't before Corona. So if I cross from Poland to the Czech Republic, have I not been to the Czech Republic, because there is no checkpoint? What about with Mexico? No one checks you when you're crossing into Mexico. So have I not been to Mexico? NO! The checkpoint means nothing. Once you set foot inside a country's borders, you've been to that country, doesn't matter if you've entered legally or not.
@@briantravelman For immigration laws, you haven't broken any law by staying on the Canadian part of the bridge without a visa, they don't consider that you entered illegally before you pass the checkpoint. The bridge is considered like the transit areas of the airports.
As for the European Union, the Schengen area is considered as "one single country", so crossing from Poland to Czech rep. is like crossing from New York to New Jersey.
Side note: If there was a shop on that bridge, it would have been duty free, proof that the Canadian/US customs jurisdictions are not applied on the bridge. There are many places where duty free shops are located between the respective countries checkpoints.
wish the border from mexico-usa looked as nice 😧
its sad how many people have died trying to cross the usa border from mexico. Its not fair to kill someone for this, its not robbery or murder
+Gencturk92 ik
+Gencturk92 robbers dont even get killed 😕
ronaldo ruiz good point. as for usa and canada, they both are the same. why cant these both countries just re-unite and be together. Im possibly heading to Toronto in september.
+Gencturk92 im going to mexico in a few months lol
I like ur camera..... Very clear image in zoom also when u show the us and Canadian flags on Canada side flying side by side
Great work
I live in sweden and here people in norway dont need passport to get to sweden. It should be same for us and canada. No pass port for canadians to us and vice versa
Those two countries are very much alike. But USA and Canada have different laws. So they can't do that.
Why because sweden and norway is in the Schengen area, Let's take an example,
You want to go from norway to finland. you can cross the border without passport as long they are in the schengen area.
+Daniel Scheib But it is like that in EVERY European country. There are no border checkpoints or gates or anything in ANY European county
It USED to be like this, but Bush Jr. fucked it up. There are also a bunch of Latin American countries that can visit each other without a passport
What I'll be doing next year
Did you leave yet?,or are you still in the free Country aka United States of America.
Joey Dillon lol Canada is free too.
Rush Atlzntic bill 89 and motion 103. Trudeau is against Canada
Faye and I thought this would be a lot more exciting when we clicked on it.
love,natural video.
Bill Murray?
hello
yep clean air in canada of america because canada is north america isn it?
yes you right even Mexico is North America also
Jean Pierre isn't Mexico south America?
rock n roll yup
get rekt m8 nope is North America
Jean Pierre k
I was at the falls recently. I was hoping to get a shot from the bridge and go back, but I didn't have my passport and didn't want to risk going through that rotating gate just for that.
The current Canadian flag was adopted in 1965, the Leafs were founded in 1917 if im not mistaken, so the Leafs were already an established team with its logo and all well before Canada got its new flag in 65", although the Maple Leaf as a symbol for Canada was used as early as the 1700s.
But nobody said to stop filming....
It's only went you pass the the border you need to stop your camera, in the middle, you can
I want to visit that😍😍😍😍😍😍
Acha ji
Gagan gill , yes 😊😊😊😊
Amandeep Kaur ajoo asi v canada i aw
Manik Mehta , I will see you soon on Canada 😊😊😊😊😊
Amandeep Kaur Everyone want that.. But it's too much difficult. .
Very very cool!
if you ever want to travel between north and south korea, you don't need a passport but GANGNAM STYLE!!!!! great video and awesome footage and what a grand view of Niagara falls :)
Question and I am Canadian but was wondering, why are their so many cars going over to Canada and I don't see one going over to the states?
+Mike Kingsbury ok now he answered why or sort of.
It appears to be the afternoon. People are going to the Canadian side for dinner and the night life, because Niagara Falls, NY is a ghost town.
Joey Style I said Niagara Falls, New York, not NYC. Of course there's nothing wrong with The Big Apple, and it's certainly not a ghost town. I love NYC. Niagara Falls in upstate NY, on the other hand, is in fact a ghost town.
Coz canadians are cool and humble people try to travel alot peace lol
because all the cool attractions are on the Canada side the States has really nothing for Attractions
America is not sending their best they're send vlogers they're send backpackers
Nice video .
Nice one...
.
Get rid of the border between Canada and the USA
Never
It's harder to jump over the Mexico border XD
XD
Maybe going back, but not going in. I traveled to Mexico by train, and they didn't even check our passports until we got back to the train station in California.
what camera do you use?
RyanReporting, good job. Together we are strong :) :)
Meanwhile there will be a tall ass wall from Mr. Trump

This link is Liberal European that doesn't like Trump
Honestly USA and Canada should unite, just think of the glory... Territorial size larger than vast Russia... European Union is united under dozens of languages and cultures, how hard would it be to unite U.S and Canada... Well anyway just an idea, I know 99% of Americans don't care about this type of thinking.
Only problem is diffiere bulllshit laws. I hate government as a whole.
Horrible Spelling/and Grammer of English....
Fuck you all. Seriously, I was fucked over by the American school systems. Its not really my fault.
Well.. Americans do make up 60% of global English speakers... England doesent have the weight it once had these days.
not American btw.
The zoom was nice. What camera are you using and if it's a DSLR, what lens?
I walked across that bridge. Dead of winter, night time. Believe it or not, there was no line either way, but I got some great photos.
That's where Everybody will be today because of trump
Quynh Nguyen true that's what people are saying
US ECONOMY ROARS BECAUSE OF TRUMP THE GREAT !!!!!!
Quynh Nguyen you wish we don't need illegals aliens in America.
I sure won't. And good they can take back all their illegal immigrants coming in
I have heard that tourism and legal immigration to the United states has increased tremendously despite trump being elected as president. I think it is because the us border agents can be stern, but fair, and more easy going then the powertripping, immoral, corrupt canadian border clerks.
I'm a U.S citizen

It does, I hate living in America.

Lone Wolf Nah man crimes going down and NYC is safer then toronto.
Well Toronto is like another version of NYC... I'm not even Canadian and I don't hate USA at all but if had to live in one of the two, I'd prefer Canada...
the most interesting rock to ever live Everybody knows Canada is safer than USA when it comes to the center of Canada, Toronto is at the border, so probably most of those crimes you mentioned about are because of Americans lol
For the record. Canada is in America. From the tip of Nunavut to the south part of Argentina, Its all America!! Gringos, get real!!!
***** Too bad the education you received in gringo/yanki land, does not equal to the rest of the countries in America in terms of History and Geography..
***** At least we know geography and history. Don't be jealous!!!
***** You have a computer. Educate yourself.. Stop being stupid!!!
***** This is on one of your links ' . Continents are defined by their continental shelves. A continental shelf is a gently sloping area that extends outward from the beach far into the ocean. A continental shelf is part of the ocean, but also part of the continent'. Canada does not have any beaches that extend out into the Ocean.. Do a better research stupid!!! Had to be a crack head gringo!!!
***** At least I know history. Unlike you, that says lame shit like "she is European and their GDP is higher than yours".. lol.. so lame yanki.. Snore coke, that's what you are good at..
I need to go there n adhere what's going on when I see the near rears of nagra falls new York like I be hearing to it's very exquisite with the architectural landscapes of the forest and a embryonic small skyline known nfs Ontario
That’s Really Loved It I Wish To Go There
Beautiful Canadian flag ? US flag is better
Amen!
@@benlujan288 Use to open a barber shop.
As a Canadian, I agree. It's French Canadian politicians that change the flag in 67 and made it red. Red being the colour of the liberal party of Canada. As the late great John Candy said " what's that on their flag, a weed?"

I Want To Ask A Question
If I Have USA Multiple Visit Visa
Can i Go To Canada 🇨🇦 ?
By Crossing Border ?
By just Having USA Visa ?
Not With Canada Visa ?
At 4:27 who changes the light bulbs when the burn out ,..... Canada or American
