Good morning!
Just a few tips from someone who used to live in Canada, eh:
1. Canada does not require a passport, but does require two forms of ID
for proof of citizenship. At least one of them needs to be a photo ID. It
is good to bring your passport for the second document. A driver's license
or S.S. card is not considered proof of citzenship but does count as one of
the ID's. A certified copy of your birth certificate is good, too.
2. Be sure to check on your vehicle insurance to make sure you are covered
in Canada and get a card from your agent to carry with you. An American
driver's license is legal in Canada.
3. You can bring back up to $400 of goods purchased in Canada duty-free
(if you have been in Canada over 48 hours), but must pay a duty on amounts
over that (I believe it is 10% on the next $1000).
4. Make sure that your medical insurance policy covers you in Canada. Also
note: The Social Security Medicare Program does not provide for payment of
hospital or medical services outside the United States.
5. Be sure prescription medication is in original, labeled containers and
that you have something showing you have a medical reason to have syringes.
6. Radar detectors are illegal in Ontario!

Keep Triumphing,
