    Passports from their home country for the GC holders and an enhanced driver's license or Passports for the other two.

    Check with Canada to see if the GC holders can enter Canada without a visa.

    how long?

    Fast.

    Enjoy the trip my friend. You must want to see Toronto? Isn't it quicker to run the toll road to Buffalo then cross over? Safe travels

    Be honest, and leave your firearms at home.
    Ensure no criminal convictions on anybody that would prohibit entry to Canada.
    And passports..
    Even tho weed is legal here, you cannot posses it at the border.
     
    tscottme, pavrom and Phantom Trucker Thank this.

    At 11:30pm there is a very good chance you will be one of the only vehicles there.

    They're going to ask if you have any food, I've brought canned stuff and cup noodles and whatnot up there and never had any issues. If you don't want to worry about that just don't bring any with you

    You don’t have to go through Toronto to get to Niagara Falls. It saves about 1.5 hours over staying stateside
