If anyone has actually been to Canada in an undocumented boat with US

with his post reply that he heard somewhere that documentation is
necessary. I spent quite a while on the www.cbsa.gc.ca site today but
couldn't find an answer. You can speak to someone but it's like waiting
for tech support.
I'm sure I would have heard of this if it was the case but things change
constantly with border security now and I'd hate to find out too late to
get the documentation.
to clear the waters...
registration(federal) in Canada = documentation(federal) in the US
licensing in a province of Canada = registration in a state of the US
Confusing?... perhaps yes
The paranoia you experience in the States with respect to "border security" will not be a concern when
you come north. Our idea of border security involves some way of getting some of you wacky yankees to
understand that you'll still be safe here if you leave your ****ING HANDGUNS at home. If your boat is
registered, you'll be fine.
In your case, the issue of importance will be returning to the former land of the free and the home of
the brave. Having visited a country which shamefully employs children in the production of snowballs,
the latest and perhaps most sinister form of WMD, for 10 months of the year, not having correct
documentation upon your return, could be... problematic
soooo...Cap'n Long...been to Canada eh?....let's just have a little lookie in the freezer shall we?
