Useful video for Canadians traveling to the U.S.

Just came across THIS VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO for Canadians traveling to the U.S.

As for us, we now don't bring in any food at all when we cross the border. A quick trip to Aldi, Walmart, or a supermarket will soon replenish the food we used to travel with.

Save travels and season's greetings to all!

    Info also for US travelers to Canada.

    Merry Christmas.
  • There must be a lot of variables influencing if you get questioned about food. My last two crossing in October I must have not looked very shifty or something.

    One humorous Canadian prohibition is baked goods containing meat, aka PIZZA ... well, they didn't ask and I didn't volunteer that I had frozen pizza rolls in the freezer.

    Not illegal, but failing to declare could cost you $300 resulting with a record for future crossings. Your choice, but to me, being less then completely truthful is like playing Russian roulette. Sooner or later the hammer will fall on a live chamber and your life as you know it will be changed forever.

    Are you feeling lucky next time you cross the border?
