    I keep hearing about what a hassle it is going into Canada.
    I just paid the $270 to re-new my wife and my passports so we can take loads to Canada if ask by the dm.
    Can someone fill the rest of us in as in what to expect?

    Biggest thing that comes up in driving into Canada is felony convictions.

    In Canada, a DUI is a felony offense. No Canada runs with a US DUI or any felony convictions, unless you get a waiver, beforehand.

    It's not that big of deal. Passport, ID, no DUIs, PARs papers/stickers. You can even take in a rifle in your big rig, Just need to fill out the JUS 909 form and pony up $25.

    What about a pistol?
    I have a small one I was planning on keeping in the sleeper for protection.

    DO NOT TRY IT. NO PISTOLS!

    Canada does not even trust their own people with pistols, much less us. It's been this way since the 30's (save a few exeptions).

    Pistol is not allowed. It is a restricted weapon under Canadian law. If you fill out the proper paperwork and get the proper transport permit for it you can take it from one point to another along a certain route only.
