Flying from Canada: what to expect

[Mitch]

We will fly from US to Canada to get the ship. Coming home is US to US,

Can someone tell me what to expect. Will we go through customs? Any info will be appreciated.

Not that it matters, we are going through Air2sea.

I'm not sure I'm able to answer your question, but I know there are quite a few on the boards who might be able to assist. 

To that end - instead of titling your posts as "Mitch", it might be helpful to post the topic of your question as the title to give others some context to the question being asked.

US to Canada flight - you will go through Canadian Customs

US to US - out of Hawaii (I'm assuming from your other post) you will go through USDA inspection at the airport, required for anyone leaving the island

When you reach Canada Border and Services Agency presumably at Vancouver's airport upon landing, it is much like arriving home to the US from an international flight.   

You will present your passports.  They will ask if you have anything to declare (items staying in Canada) and possibly if you have any firearms.  They will ask questions like how long you will be staying and where you plan to stay.  Typical questions asked when ever you cross a border and enter another country.  You might want to have any hotel information handy and your cruise documentation available in case they ask for it.  

Passports are required for US Citizens to travel to Canada.  If you have a criminal record you will want to pay close attention to the requirements to enter Canada.

For tourist visits to Canada of less than 180 days, U.S. citizens do not need visas. Other types of travel (e.g., to work, study, or immigrate) generally requires visas. For complete information on visa categories and requirements, consult the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website.

Anyone with a criminal record (including misdemeanors or alcohol-related driving offenses) may not be able to enter Canada without first obtaining an “approval for rehabilitation” well in advance of any planned travel. To determine whether you may be inadmissible and how to overcome this finding, please refer to the CIC website.

Entry into Canada is solely determined by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials in accordance with Canadian law. Please see the CBSA’s website for full details.

Travel Programs: Both the U.S. and Canadian governments urge frequent travelers to join the NEXUS trusted traveler program.

Entry into Canada: Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry both proof of citizenship and proof of identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens.

Children under 16 need only present proof of U.S. citizenship.

Thank you so much for your help. We are not flyers. All new to us. We have driven all over the  country. Just no planes.
