Typical scenario: Customs: Are you a citizen of Canada? Me: Yes Customs: what are you doing in Canada? Me: Visiting my Mom and Dad. Customs: Anything to declare. Me: Yea, a few T-shirts and a couple of records. Customs: How long did you stay in the US? Me: A year. Customs: Okay, go ahead. No hassles, no search, and they don't even look at my papers. I also have no problems when I cross back except that US Customs wants to look at my papers.
