I can't prove it, however the practice locally is different. Canadian
cruisers in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence can check in once, with
no advance notice, and roam from port to port without objections from
Customs.

However, they seem to be in the habit of changing the rules often
since 9/11. IME the best way to get an answer on current practice is
to contact a person in the port where you plan to enter.
