When crossing the Canadian border, you will need to have all conventional identification papers, e.g. a passport or a birth certificate, as well as a return air ticket or proof of funding. Citizens of the USA do not need a passport or visa for Canada, but they will need proof of identification and nationality. It is also recommended that you refrain from making any loud or suspicious gestures, as well as the wearing of offensively decorated clothing. Vehicles crossing the border may be searched as the discretion of the customs officials, and you should expect to be asked questions about the purpose of the trip and your planned duration in the country. If driving across the border, you will need documentation proving your license and ownership of the vehicle, or documentation from a rental company if the car is being rented. In terms of customs, you are only allowed 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars and 14 ounces of tobacco, 1.1 liters of alcohol, and gifts up to the value of $60 dollars. A small amount of food for personal consumption may also be carried across the border.
