packedandready Posted February 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2023 This may not be the correct board to post and I’ve also posted on my roll call but it’s not very active. Flying into Quebec and first time in Canada. Do we need any documents? Any forms to fill out? ANYTHING other than passport??? Scared to death we’ll get to the airport or to customs and be denied because of something we didn’t do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouremco Posted February 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Based on some of your other posts I'm assuming that you are American. That being the case, there are no other documents required. For more information, I suggest that you take a look at this website: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Canada.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2023 a good idea is to put your Country in your profile so people can answer your questions better If a US Citizen you are fine with a passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare broberts Posted February 22, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Visit Canada portal https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada.html?outside Entry requirements https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/entry-requirements-country.html#us-citizens The ArriveCAN app can be downloaded and used to complete an Advanced CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) Declaration to speed up entry when you land. In general US Citizens do not require a visa before entry as a tourist. One thing that does seem to catch a number of visitors are prior convictions. Someone convicted of what is deemed "serious criminality" in Canada may be inadmissible. See DUI example https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=152&top=8.

I don't think ArriveCAN is required anymore, nor do they ask for it. But I guess being over prepared is better than not being prepared at all!

It is entirely optional and only supported in a few arrival locations, Quebec (YQB) being one. See https://www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/services/arrivecan.html for details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that needs to be highlighted because it catches a LOT of people by surprise. When we lived in the States, I knew people who were turned away at the border because of a drunk driving conviction from their college years - they were completely unaware and insurance won't help you.

This rule goes for Canadians entering the USA as well. I know someone who was not yet convicted but had an unsettled court case and was turned away at the boarder. Only after being found innocent was he allowed to enter the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
