Canada.


its like a 12 hr trip sortof.

 

You have to get shots then have a FBI back ground check before you enter the Country.











J/K. You don't need a passport to visit Canada. Just don't take any firearms with you.
Did you do a search on the place you are going in the good guy / bad guy section?

 

You don't need any passport "YET". Will be needing one at the beginning of next year if travelling by land or sea. It is required right now to fly down there though.

 

passport for flights only until next year, when people driving across the border will need one too.

 

Bring your driver's license, health card and birth cirt. That's what I use when crossing down to the 'states. The license is usually enough unless they're being ********, that's when it helps to have the other piece of photo ID and the birth cirt.

Though admittedly it's easier to come into Canada than going to the 'states. I'm currently not able to go there because the last time I went down I only had my heath card and birth cirt, 'cause I had lost my license card somewhere... They checked their records, found a Jonathan Walker registered as an American citizen and figured that I had fake Canadian ID. So they turned me back until I can come back with a passport, license and abstract printout of my criminal record.

******* Americans. All I wanted to do was spend an hour spending money in their country and they treat you like a terrorist. And to top it off, I'm not even any type of minority they could pin it on. I'm your average white beer-drinking, back-bacon-and-maple-syrup-eating, "eh"-saying Canadian, born in the capital for God's sake!

(psst... viper... he's a yank coming to Canada, not the other way around. No health card)

Government site stating the dates for everything ... point made about needing them already to fly :P

 

come visit!

 

oh canada our home and native land.

 

thanks everyone. I can not believe how things are getting in this world. Well atleast I can travel to Puerto Rico with no problems except bringing back forbidden fruit and plants.

Now I wonder if there any good smoke shops where I am going.. (nah I gave that **** up a while ago.. j/k)



rx7keen.. What are original Canadians called? In america we got "indians". Funny thing.. in PR we got the same thing.. indians. Is it the same up there?

 

native americans, come on.

 

whoops.. didn't mean to be politically incorrect.

 

*laughs*

Ohhh yeah... Thanks for the correction D'arcy, I keep forgetting they don't have health cards like we do. Makes me wonder what you'd use as a second piece of photoID if you don't have a health card or a passport...


My politically incorrect grandpa called them indians too, so I guess it's a semi-universal thing.. Makes me wonder what they call indiginous people in india...

Jon

 

jon they call them indian's but the key that sets them apart is the dot and the curry

hay its not just canadians who say "ay" us kiwi's do to. its a major part of our vocabulary and is usally always found at the end of a sentence

hehe just had to chime in mate

"aka" KIWI

 

O.k! coming to Canada...bring your snow shoes, winter tires...lots of I.D with a photo!

 

lol ... you won't have a problem passing by london ontario ... its a nice 20 degrees 'ish weather ... that is celcius jsut to set the record straight

 

*laughs*

Don't listen to him

If you show up in Montreal at this time of year with anything but a light spring jacket, running shoes and summer tires, they'll laugh you right back across the boarder... politely, though. Leave the snowshoes, parka and tire chains at home

Jon

 

darn.. i love snow.. but is there still on the floor and is it still cold? I don't want to get lost in some snow storm just to have someone scientis lable me rx7additoushomosapianerrectous.

I think I will be going sometime late may or early june.

 

According to the weather network, on June 1st historically it's been about 20-25 degrees the last few years.

20C-25C = 68F-77F

Add some sun, and you have a nice day.

Snow is already gone, no danger of any more of it falling between now and October-November or so.

Jon

 

And for those folks who think Canada never gets warm:

My birthday is August 1st. The temperature around that date in my hometown was:

2006: 36C = 96.8F
2005: 33C = 91.4F
2004: 30C = 86F
2003: 33C = 91.4F

And that's *without* the humidity. Humidex usually adds another 5C or more.

Hehe.. and since I love looking up historical weather data.. here are the hottest and coldest days between Jan 1st 2001 and yesterday:

MAX TEMP : 36.9 °C = 98.42F (without counting humidity)
MAX TEMP DATE: Aug.9 2001

MIN TEMP : -30.7 °C = -23.26F (without counting wind chill)
MIN TEMP. DATE Jan.15 2004

Gotta love Canada for its varied temperatures through the year, lol.

Jon

 

My 2 cents worth just remember when driving in Quebec it is illegal to turn right on a red light, hard to get use to.

 

It may be illegal, but at least in Montreal no one seems to give a fleur-de-lis what's legal or not - they just drive.

 

hey Viper...you got way too much time on your hands...or maybe you work for the weather network!
Lets just keep telling the folks south of the border that we have snow up to our waists and Canada is so flat that you can watch your dog run away for three days!
cheers,

 

Just remember here in Canada ... everything is sculpted out of ice, all the houses, plants, and roads ... we actually don't really have a sun neither we sent out a projector into the sky to project and image like of the sun, temperature guages are actually controlled by goverment, that why we pay so much taxes, so that we can stay happy somtimes when we look outside the window and really think its not that cold, so we lower our inhouse thermostat temperature ... besides all that its a pretty nice place to live.

 

Just a quick quesition why is it that they say the states uses imperial or for any case any country that claims they use imperial, why is it that you calculate how much fuel goes in by gallons but engine displacement it always set by liters? Not to mention fuel pumps and stuff? Or you woudn't like calling your 5.0 mustangs 1.32 gallons because it makes it sound alot smaller? Then you tell us Canadians we are undecided about using metric or imperial ... get your games right before you try to get other
