    fast ( free and secure trade ) cards.... basically you are pre-screened by both countries. You fill out an application, sent to the CBP in the u.s, canada customs here. They prescreen you, send you application off to the other country. They run you, if they approve, you go for an interview at a border crossing, agents from both countries interview you and verify documents in person. Fingerprints taken, photo taken, card sent in the mail 10 days later. The questions asked are minimal if you have a fast card. Be careful, you must report any chargeable offense to them, driving, or criminal. Failure to do so will result in federal charges, and loss of card. Any more questions, feel free to ask!!

    Why don't I want to go to Canada, because I don't. The same reason I have no interest in going alot of places.
