So, the students grabbed some beer, stopped and ate some fast food before bringing beer back to their dorms. He actually was the first person to take me out of the country.

I see a lot of people in the comments section goffing at how big the transition is from US to Canada. As someone who was born in Windor and has lived there for a long time, all I can say is that its in a different country. I understand that Detroit is very close to Windsor and shares some similarities, but you need to realize that they are separated, lol. Canada in general is somewhat more "peaceful", and quite different from US, so you can expect some pretty awesome changes. All I'm saying is that different countries, even if they're close together, don't usually share the same rules.

Like for your comment BUT you forgot one major factor that makes all the difference btwn Windsor and Detroit and pretty much btwn USA and Canada and I'm talking about gun violence (black-on-black with ILLEGAL guns): DEMOGRAPHICS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Detroit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor,_Ontario Detroit: Whites 10.61% (2010), Blacks 82.69%. Windsor: Whites 77.1% (2006), Blacks 3.9%. Now forget about rest of Canada, big country, right? but why pretty much no blacks in Windsor compared to neighboring Detroit (just one small river btwn them), why is that? Be safe.

Justin Lareaux Recreational marijuana is ILLEGAL in Canada, all 10 provinces plus three territories. Only medical marijuana is lawful but strictly regulated and you must keep all paperwork on you when stopped by a LEO. If CBSA agents find anything illegal in your car, you might get arrested and automatically turned back to U.S. hopefully with no criminal record on you. Stay legal. All the best.

BTW, for the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel or Ambassador Bridge, you can pay the toll with credit card or cash in either USD or CAD. Have a safe trip.

Shawn Ryu I'm pretty sure they (American and Canadian Customs) know who's a "friendly" and safe border crosser and who needs to get a more detailed "attention" from them. As soon as you cross the border pretty often (and I'm absolutely sure they know when was your last border crossing AND how many times have you crossed the border in the past years) AND no issues whatsoever with your previous border crossings, they will see you as very low-risk border crosser and therefore they will ask you just the routine Qs, citizenship, where you live, where you going, how long you'll stay in the States (or Canada), where you stay, how much cash on you, what's your occupation, when did you cross the border last time and where did you go, coming back to Canada what did you buy and how much, these are their main Qs but not necessarily you'll be asked all the Qs of the above. In my case max 2-3 min to clear the Customs on either side of the border regardless where I've crossed the border. And here you see my 2015 Welcome to USA video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIeUaIOXoZipeK8

Canada and USA share the intel when it comes to criminal record in each country. Be safe out there.

Shawn Ryu You get told (by Canadian or US Customs) to drive to the 2nd Inspection Area where they will search your entire vehicle (engine included) only after you have failed to satisfy the (Canadian or US) Customs officer they have nothing to worry about you, Homeland Security and cargo in your vehicle. In my case very rarely I have the great "honor" to take part in this waste-of-time program, last time two years ago while crossing the border from New Brunswick into Maine, the first US Customs officer (a she) found it strange that somebody who lives in Toronto has to cross the US Border some 1K miles away from the nearest border crossing in Buffalo, NY, after maybe 30 min all cleared to get into U.S.A. In their defense, they are doing their job and if you have nothing to hide, this is just a very minor inconvenience in your life.
