  • In today's 4K Canada Travel Guide, we will share with you our recent experience crossing the Canada US border. Usually, this is a hassle free experience as eligible Canadian citizens are easily allowed entry into the US. This time around, we were stopped at the border. It was the first time that I was asked to remove my glasses and cap so that the officer can compare how I looked with the picture in my passport. She also asked a lot of questions about family, work and background. In addition, she also did an inspection of the trunk and my belongings. Eventually, she was convinced that I was going to the US to help a relative and she was apologetic with the hassle. All's well that ends well!

    Well at least they didn't pull you into secondary. That happened to me once. Here's a tip make sure you clean your car out real good before you cross the border lol

    The first thing I noticed was that when the CPB officer asked you when the last time you were in the US, you answered with too much information. You didn't have to say you were with your family, just how long it had been. Whenever a person crosses the border either way, they should listen to the question and answer only what they ask and don't offer any extra info because that raises their interest.

    Us border guards are very different than coming back to canadian border guards. Us border guards seem angry to start with.

      It depends where you go. I am canadian and when i enter the us the american border officer is always nice smiling and doesn’t ask much questions and even told us a few restaurants not to go in the town we were headed and when i came back to canada the lady was nice but was more serious and asking way more questions and wasnt as good of an experience as going to the usa. Everything depends on where you go threw customs cuz its not the same employees

      I don't know. I've encountered some power crazy Canadian officers. It's just the luck of the draw of who you get.

      Yep crossed many times American here: going into Canada shortest took 30 seconds longest 2 minutes
      Going back to US: shortest 2 minutes longest 5 minutes, easier to get into Canada than back in my own country

      The US guards actually have threats to worry about. Who'd threaten Canada, the friendly puppy dog of the nations of the earth. Canada has no power so no one cares. The US is the center of a vast empire. It has countless threats.

    I don’t live too far from the Rainbow Bridge Border crossing, I worked down in Niagara Falls for a bit like 5 minutes away from the rainbow bridge border crossing, and I live in Hamilton, so yea it was a pain in the butt having to drive all that long with a truck but that’s what I had to use to get there

    Interesting. I cross almost weekly on the Mexican border and never have had this kind of extended palaver about personal affairs. What does your bumper sticker say, etc.? One or two questions usually suffice.

    • @canadatravelguide

      That’s right. Normally, they let you in after one or two questions. My guess is that they picked-up my bag of documents that I was bringing in for my Aunt in their x-ray. She went for it as soon as I opened the trunk.

      Crossing the border on rainbow as a pedestrian to visit Buffalo hope that they don’t ask me all these kinds of creepy questions 😅

      @@canadatravelguide just made it to cross the border and after I made the event I am attending this afternoon very clear to the CBP officer ! I was admitted here to the USA without suspicions!

      It's also the luck of which officer you get. Some are nice others are real pricks.

    I hope you realize that the dash cam running is illegal on both sides of the border.

    Your number came up to be given the third degree.
    Also border and customs officials all around the world talk to another.
    You might be on their shit list when crossing borders again.
    Never say any more to any form of law enforcement than necessary.

    What did that video cost the traveler for filming it and putting it up on TH-cam?
