So, if you go from WA to Canada, what should I expect to enounter?

Conversely, when coming from Canada to WA, what should I expect to
enounter?

Based on these scenarios, what is/are the optimum actions or events to
minimize hassle from one venue to the other?

Just as I stated in my earlier post. I can't add much more.. My experience
was based on minimal contact with the crossing officials on either side. I
was prepared with the I-68, picture IDs and myself, I had a passport. The
only face to face I encountered was with Canadian official at Bedwell and I
called in, just an hour prior to my arrival. No option or offer to wave
coming to the customs dock.

Myself, I don't like Roche Hbr. and if I do go in there, I always anchor out
and if I would have had to go to the customs dock, I would only stay long
enough to clean and then head for a much more friendly (none commercial)
anchorage.

Once I'm sure I don't have to go into an official dock, I put my mooring
lines and fenders way until I return. I made my trip last summer without
taking on fuel and only stopped at Comox for water.
