1st Canadian border crossing

[MountainTracker]

If you have any firearms or hunting related stickers on your vehicle (ex: GLOCK) and they see it, there’s a good chance you’ll get sent to secondary.

But if you have on a mask and socialist stickers on your vehicle you’re good to go, this I kid about…only a little

I crossed the border multiple times in Febuary.
Pretty easy and uneventful.

Bring booze and tobacco with you. We get screwed in Canada on both

Make sure you know how much you can cross the boarder with per person.

I don't booze, nor tobacco so no worries there.

Always a good time to start.

Gifts to barter with the local oppressed people. lol

Yes, as Vern said, make sure no one has a DUI on their record, even if it's old. They will likely be prohibited from entry since it's considered a felony in Canada.

Don't want to derail the thread, but this is not true. It is a very, very, very complicated subject with a good bit of nuance, and each indidivual person's situation will be unique.

Depends on how long ago it was.
Depends on if there was damage to person or property.
Depends on if there is anything else on their record, and if so, what that exact conviction was, when, how, etc.
Depends on what documentation the person has proving the above, that they satisfied all punishments/fines and when.
Depends on if you have done any legwork ahead of time trying to obtain a Temporary Resident Permit or Criminal Rehabilitation, or if you just show up ignorant or hoping to skate through.
Depends on your attitude when being questioned.

If anyone out there has a DUI on their record and wishes to enter Canada, I recommend you reach out to Kara: https://beyondbordersimmigration.ca/about-us

Last time I crossed into Canada for a bear hunt. We were treated very poor by the boarder gaurds. We were at the boarder over 5 hour.

Been in the same situation on a steelhead fly fishing trip. Based on the way I was treated at the border, I’ve never gone back.
