AtNiagara, the closest border point to here, they look at what kind of vehicle you have. Obviously, if you have a van or truck, they will take a look for illegal immigrants; but, if you are only a car, they'll just ask if you are a Canadian citizen or American, and what you plan to do. Then, they'll let you go, unless you are doing something really unusual. Very rarely are people stopped with any amount of nuisance. In fact, to us up here, the Canadian border guards are nicer than the American(maybe it's our accents). All in all, customs is very good between the border; their are always horror stories, but it's kinda like the postal system. Everybody has a story of some kind. Sincerely yours, DAVE BROWN
