I see many state registered boats in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia.

If anyone has actually been to Canada in an undocumented boat with US
state registration, would you please let me know. Steve has me worried
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.

If you have a proof of ownership, registered or documented, will be enough
to enter Canada as it is to enter the US. I have entered the US with the
Canadian equivilant of both (two different boats of course). If you call
CANPASS when you get to Grand Manan, you may not even see a customs officer.
If they decide that you are worthy of further inspection, you will be sent
to St. Andrews where the RCMP will take a look around. This does not happen
very often.
