Years ago I was taking a beer judging class in Buffalo and there was a woman from Canada taking it that had memorable wild hair. The course had instructors teach about the different styles. On test day the lady from Canada gets to the border, hands over her passport and is asked “what is the difference between a northern and southern English brown ale?” Stunned at the question, she gives the answer, gets her passport back, and the agent says “you may pass.” The agent was the teacher for the brown ale class.

I have never crossed anywhere into or out of Canada from anywhere but Maine. I have always found the Canadian border guards very friendly - all business - but friendly. I have always dreaded coming back to Maine because most of the time the US guards are gruff and unfriendly. I have found this to be true since my first visit to Canada back in 1967.

Drove from Ontario, Canada through the US to North Dakota and back into Saskatchewan, Canada. The female Canadian border agent naturally asked where we’re going and we explained we were going hunting staying in a small town north of the border. Two days later a young woman approached us in a hotel restaurant and says. “Do you remember me? I was your CBS agent when you crossed the border!”

Had to take my youngest son up to Canada..up near North Bay from the US to play Junior A hockey. We told the Canadian Border Agent why we were coming into the country. The border agent seemed really impressed for him playing and asked (jokingly) should she ask for his autograph and told us to watch out for moose on the roadway up that way. Couldn’t have been nicer.

I hope you are enjoying Letchworth. We camped there last fall and it was beautiful. We arrived just after a few days of rainy weather - we were lucky that we enjoyed beautiful weather and the waterfalls were gushing. We live in New York state and I'm always happy to see when RV vloggers drive through upstate. There are some really nice areas that many will miss because they're often focused on seeing NYC, and there is so much more to New York than the city. If you happen to pass near New Paltz, check out the rock climbing at the Trapps cliffs in the Shawangunks. Sometimes called the "Gunks Cliffs".

Having crossed that border crossing many times, it is often busy (Next trip planned for Feb/Mar 2024). The Custom Officer do a good job and we haven't had any significant issues. The thing you saw in the water (round) was originally a Lighthouse and now is a Water Intake for the city of Buffalo. We will make our first crossing into the US with our Trailer next summer.

@@stephenbagby3201 I am sorry for your experience. We cross into the US at least once a year, sometimes 3 or 4 times for 30 years. I never had a BAD experience. While occasionally the officer (both directions) seems a little distracted and unfriendly, but never BAD. I have only been pulled over to Secondary Twice (1 - Port Huron US, 1 - Sarnia - CAN) Same Bridge. In both cases I was treated well and they left no mess in searching my vehicle. And a third time flying into the US from Person Airport (Toronto). Again, very professional. Even got a VISA so I wouldn't have any problems entering the US for the next 6 months. (I was on my way to volunteer in Biloxi MS after Hurricane Katrina). However, I have heard of many stories of bad experiences over the years from both sides of the border. 98% of the time, the Customs/Immigration Officer ask a few questions, and your on your way in a minute or two. The one think I've noticed with KZbin RV Travelers crossing borders, is how often they don't know the rules, or attempt to hide that they are breaking them. I'm not surprised if someone in a RV gets a closer look by border officer, than normal. Our last crossing into the US, he asked a couple of questions, closed his window and we sat there for a couple of minutes. Then he said "Have a nice day" and we were on our way. Coming home, when asked where we had been (Olive Hill KY), the reply was, that not a normal place and we were on our way 10 seconds later. Once going into the US I was asked where I was going and said "Olive Hill KY" and the officer must know the town. He said "Why?"! LOL Pre 9/11 I lived in a border town. The easiest way to cross the border back then was to say "I'm going to Walmart". Once I said that, I was on my way!

Watched your travel through Michigan and Canada. We live in Michigan and in 2019 took our grandson for a trip around Lake Huron in our travel trailer. Crossing to and from Canada is no big deal. Our grandson got to swim in Lake Huron, Superior and Michigan. When we got back to Dearborn we took him down to Sterling State Park to swim in Lake Erie. At 6 years old he swam in 4 of 5 great lakes in August of 2019. Late in August, the day his sister was born we traveled into Canada again on the way to Catskills area of NY. We swam in Lake Ontario, all 5 great lakes. We went through Canada again on the way home by way of Buffalo and stayed at Niagara Falls KOA, the one you stayed at. We went in and out of Canada with our travel trailer 3 times in August and September of 2019. Like watching you.

As someone who crosses the border a couple times a year. With regards to the food declarations, they are strict about fruits and vegetables (especially produce that is from outside of North America), but as long as your fruits and vegetables are cut, you should be ok. They're strict on that stuff because they don't want any foreign bugs coming into either country and reeking havoc on North American ecosystems

Cameras off, answer all questions as truthfully and briefly as possible, remain polite, and things should go smooth.

A comment that will help you prevent any accident when crossing a bridge. Prepare the route you are going to follow to know how many bridges you are going to cross, and look for information to know what the maximum height of each bridge is to be sure that you will not have problems crossing the bridge due to the height of your RV. I am saying this from personal experience. Enjoy the trip and always be prepared for any unexpected circumstance.

Interesting! Gosh, I commented on your previous video, finding it humorous on the loonie & toonie, and the gas stations are in 'litres' not gallons, so the $168.9 price was for 1 litre of gasoline, or in your case you'd have paid whatever the diesel price was, in green, below the red gas price. Since I live on the west coast of Canada in B.C., I've only seen Niagara Falls once myself, so that was a highlight what you showed us, so a big thanks for that! As for the food you ate, like Craig, I don't care for Sushi either, so I would have chosen something different as well. Nice haircut Craig...as I've only had one haircut in the U.S. south of Phoenix in Arizona, as we spend a few months there most years, and go to a location with a ton of things to do to keep us busy, at a Premier RV resort. Noticed you have the Brinkley, and I'll have to look back to see if you did a 'tour' of it, as we currently have a Class A diesel pusher, but thought next we might like to try a truck & fifth wheel, so looked at the Brinkley, Momentum and Alliance unit's so far, but it would be nice to hear of the positives/negatives you've found so far! We've travelled up to Alaska a couple of times, and even up there have had no issues with the border patrol folks, as they are just doing their job in the questions asked. Stick to the rules and you'll be just fine. Stay safe, be kind and have fun!

So when you cross the border, they're asking if you have any purchases to declare. They're are limits to the amount of goods you can purchase in a foreign country and bring back home. They're particularly on guard for alcohol and tobacco products. So if you have purchased a lot in the foreign country (especially alcohol and tobacco) its a good idea to declare the purchases (and have receipts ready, if asked). You might have to pay taxes or duty on your purchases, but it's probably better than paying a fine for smuggling.

Osoyoos US border always, always does agricultural and food check through the RV.

Never had any issues crossing the border crossings in the Niagara region. When the border agents say "Do you have anything to declare?", it's a catchall for declaring if you have any weapons, food, alcohol, plants, tobacco, animals, and drugs. Peace Bridge was named after the peace between Canada and the US. Canada, US, and UN flag are at the border line on the bridge. The bridge is a three lane bridge with the center lane alternating in direction based on traffic volumes.

I would compare that when entering Canada from the US is almost like crossing Mexico into the US.

We crossed back into the US from Canada a few years ago, and were subjected to a pretty thorough search.The crossing agents were pretty stern, too. I found out later that they do that to anyone wearing sunglasses. Dunno how true that is, but just sayin’.

@@ericgeorgetruckgrilling- it’s a nice courtesy. They can ask you to remove your sunglasses if they choose. If you have prescription glasses, just say so, it’s ok. The hat isn’t as much of an issue. I was in law enforcement and came to know several Customs officers on both sides of the border. Their jobs have similarities, but are very different as well. I did learn you tend to get what you give. A lot of people that complain about their experiences are about as easy to deal with as a LEO as well. They say all of us are jerks as well. A really big thing I noticed before I retired were people mixing up what they see on KZbin regarding US rules & regulations and thinking they applied in Canada as well. It gets frustrating when they start quoting the US Constitution. We fall under the Charter of Rights & Freedoms, or Charter for short. Something to remember at the border though,,,, they have every right to search, your vehicles, your purse, your electronic devices, it’s all fair game at the border l you are going from one country to another and there’s a reasonable expectation that you will be searched, you and your goods. You have rights, your goods do not. Their goal is to leave things as they found them, even though technically they don’t have to repack things. My friends, both sides have some interesting, but vetted stories. Both sides are very serious about protecting the rights of people crossing on both sides. Those rights can be different. (Firearms for example.)

Now you have seen the worst part of Canada. Next time, Montreal and Quebec City, the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland then out to the west coast from Calgary, through Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and any of the National Parks in the Alberta and BC mountains, then Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Then, you will have seen Canada although, the Yukon is absolutely wild and spectacular.
