Canada Visa and cross border to USA

balsingh

Hi,

Quick couple of questions: do I need a visa to go to Canada on holiday? (I am a British citizen). Also, if I want to drive across the border from Canada to USA, what is involved and does it cost anything?

Went from Montreal to Boston and had to go through border, you will need your passport, and be prepared for the spanish inquisition!!

Cant remember if i had to pay though.

As mentioned, take your passport and about $6 each to enter the US, it is no more difficult than flying into the US, however depending on your border crossing point you may experience delays depending on how busy it is.

We crossed on the Vancouver to Seattle border highway around 6.30am; took about 15 minutes, fingerprint scan/photo taken and brief inquisition.

Much easier getting out of the US to Canada on way back though, quick flash of the passports and through you go (no charge to go back) I think the way the Canadians see it is that if you've got into the US then you've probably already been through the interogation
