    Don't tell your planner, but many people cross the border with pets commercially.

    I do not go to Canada because the rates do not justify the hassles. Plus the loads that pay well go to the middle of nowhere and that is about 90% of Canada.

    If you there (I do) make sure you bring lots of money as BC stands for bring cash. If youre an O/O dont do anything unless you bid roundtrip. BTW I bring my dog up no problem. Make sure you have all current shots up to date and bring the paperwork (for the shots) with you just in case they ask.

    Haven't been in years but when I used to go into Canada on a regular basis, I always had a harder time coming back into the US. Canadian customs people were always very nice. US custom were more often real jerks.

    I love Canada! Next time I'm there I might just forget to come home.

    Bring a debit card and don't use Uncle Slam's fake money- be polite and always order coffee "Double-Double". Don't laugh at Loonies, don't joke about Hockey and don't brag about Football. The women are cute, the beards are real and always wear a Touk. (Don't forget the pom-pom on top)

    Same here. Going into CA, no problem. Coming back to the US, was always given a hard time by US Customs, both @ border crossings and at any of the airports.

    I'm just comfortable keeping my feet on U.S. soil. Spent most of the 80's in Europe. I'm good. Guess I'm getting old lol.
