What Do I need To Visit Canada

I have tried to wade through the info in the links for traveling to Canada and I am more confused than when I started. It seems all the FAQ's deal with others than U.S. citizens. We will be crossing into Canada from Maine and some time in June and back into the United States maybe in Michigan. We have a class A and will be towing our car. What do I need to be able to enter into Canada and spend a few weeks there before coming back to the U.S. We have our passports and all documentation for our vehicles. Is there more? Thanks. Chuck

So I will need to get Canadian insurance on my policy? No pets. Thanks. Chuck

Yes to all the above, but in point of fact all we needed were our passports. When I offered the dog certificates and other papers the agent said he'd never seen them before and handed them back.

Of course if you don't have them then expect a demand to produce them.

Passports, vehicle registrations, proof of insurance with a CANADIAN certificate from your ins. co., If with a dog, need a vet certificate of good health (which they never look at) and rabies vaccine. NO firearms!

Most of all, keep a friendly and patient attitude toward border authorities.
