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

It's easy. Basic is have a valid passport. Have enough money to look
respectable. No contraband especially drugs. Given that, there should
be no problems.

Hoards of Canadian sailboats go down to Marblehead Mass every 2nd year for
the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race.
Even more American boats race up here. I haven't heard of any problems....
although sailors are a special class of people and deserve special
treatment. ;-)

My experience with international racing is that the host clubs help to
expedite the clearance process and advise everone in advance regarding
the document requirements.

In general you need to advise US Customs by telephone as soon as you
cross the 12 mile limit, get a clearance number, fly the Q flag, and
report to customs upon docking with vessel documentation plus ID and
proof of citizenship for everyone on board.
