Please send some info what a Canadian citizen have to do to clear us
Customs/immigration?
Any good links?
Thank you.


It really depends on what and where. I have obtained the best
information about current conditions by phoning in advance to check
what the rules are today.

The web info can be confusing and out of date.

Generally, if you own the vessel and everybody on board is a Canadian
with a passport, then you can probably land without difficulty at any
port of entry.

The biggest reason I was ragging him was that he was, apparently, to
lazy to provide a modicum of information; for instance, arriving by
boat, aircraft or parachuting in. How many people in the party, if more
than one, what are their nationalities. If on a vessel what are the
most recent port(s) of call: I'll bet that if he's coming from Havana,
there will be a few extra questions, if from Columbia perhaps a really
thorough examination/inspection.....
