We cross over into Canada at Niagara Falls 2-3 times a year with our drivers licenses & passports. We've never had a problem & have never been searched. I always hear from people with SUVs or vans that they get searched every time coming back into the states.
Going into Canada they ask what you're bringing into the country & if you have guns, knives, etc. They ask what the purpose of your visit is & how long you'll be there.
Some of the border guards are a bit gruff & some are more friendly.
Going back into the USA they want to know what you're bringing back. By the time I'm 1/2 way through my inventory of purchases they can't get rid of us fast enough! LoL...
If you're hungry while in the Niagara Falls area there's a restaurant on the Canadian side called "The Filling Station" with great
bar-b-qued baby back ribs & chicken. omg...
Really incredible!
The Falls are so gorgeous & overwhelming each time you see them - esp. at night with the lights on. Absolutely spectacular!
The thing we love best about Canada is how warm & friendly the people are. And they're
also extremely polite. (including the children & teenagers) Canadians also seem to be a bit more sophisticated than most Americans. It's a bit of culture shock but we like it!
Fun fun everyone!
