 I used to truck in and out of Canada for years with no problems.Seemed
like it was harder coming back to the States than going into CA. I think it
has a little to do on how you present yuorself. Have all your papers in
order, don't make small talk and no cute answers.{ got a couple good
campfire stories on that one} I used to cross at Osoyoos, Patterson, & Kings
Gate and once in a while at different POE in MT. & NY. .During fertlizer
season 5 or six times a week.
 Then 2 years ago I was driving my car and was going to cross at Windsor,
they ran my drivers license and told me I had to turn back.Seems as in
1972/3 ? I got written up as DUI, but it was reduced to speeding/with the
stipulation I not get another moving violation for one year and everything
would come off my record.I was driving truck at that time and didn't that
kind of baggage. Anyway 30 years later it came back to bite me.I guess Wa.
State puts a little red star behind your DL # if it was a alcohol related
ticket.Not convicted,just written.
 
 Leon and list
Do all you guys have clean criminal records? At the No Dak and
Minnesota
 
 (Manitoba) checkpoints they turn away lots of people as "inadmissables"
..
 
 Accordingly if you have anything on your record that is a felony in
canada
 
 they won't let you in. DWI/DUI, certain reckless driving charges,
speeding
 
 (20mph or more), simple assault, any domestic issues even if it was'nt
your
 
 fault, and all kinds of other things. Most of these type charges are
misdemeanors in the states, but felonies in Canada..
It seems they start with license plate to find out who owns the vehicle
and
 
 it goes from there. This has been the norm for about 4 yrs.

maybe they are rmad about SoDak prohibiting truckers from hauling
canadian
 
 beef thru So Dak.

Either I'm really bad, or other checkpoints are a lot slacker.

 I second Joe's recomendaton. I go into Canada once or
twice a week (three times this week - Toronto
Motorcycle Show is on). The Canadans never give you
any trouble, unlike the people who work for me. Just
have some form of government issued photo
identificaton if you are a citizen of one of the
several states in the U.S.A.

Be prepared to have all of your shit gone through
with a fine tooth
comb; I've heard from several people that going
into Canada on a bike is
an experience they won't repeat.
