I don't think they'll let you in, if you can't use Google to come up the
required documentation/information you fail the "Are you smart enough to
be allowed in test"

Cheers

Not to mention that most Canadians are so fat they are generally considered
bulk freight and probably have to go through the freight system of checks
and balances.

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.

http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/ports/

The web info can be confusing and out of date.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.

Now there's an insult, coming from the nation with greatest obesity
problem on the planet...

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.....

Cheers

Duh! You can assume he's arriving by private yacht or he wouldn't be posting
to rec.boats.cruising. And, since he's posting from Surrey, British Columbia
one can also assume he is a long ways from Port Everglades but to the north;
not to the south. If he arrives via Cuba or Columbia then he's an even worse
navigator than Capt. Skip but I find that hard to believe.

Also one can tell by his sentence structure and improper verb tense that's
he's a Canuck - i.e. speaks French and attempts English. As you can see the
poor dude really does need help. So, here is a link that even a Frog might
understand:

We'll see how good your grammar is when Spanish is the official language of
the United States.
Besides, those Quebecors play pretty good hockey..eh? (Montreal defeats
Boston to advance to next playoff round)
