Canadian Border
We are planning a trip to Alaska in our 40-foot RV, with a tow vehicle, driving from Washington through Canada. What can we expect at the Canadian border? Is it a hassle to cross? Would like to hea...

We got through the online application process. It is a laundry list of attachments that are required, scans, pictures, and on and on. We received an email that the application was approved and now we had to send the passport via courier to the Embassy in Mexico City for final approval and visa application to the passport. Included was a pre-paid return waybill. We are hoping 10 working days. I will say, that although a hairy process, they are prompt on sending updates to your email box.
Still a little concerned about crossing with our Mexican plated vehicles as I am sure we might stand out, maybe not and there is nothing that we do that would put us at risk either.
We are making a list of on board food products, but we are leaving behind meats, veggies, fruits, etc. leaving the refrigerator bare but for condiments.
We are really looking forward to know your great country of Canada as all Canadian rvers in Mexico have been great people to meet. I will update once we get the passport back with the visa.
This has been a good thread and we are glad to know most incidents are minor and people are waved through with a smile.
Have a great trip! bring beer it's expensive here. and be prepared for fuel costs of over $5/gal
