I'll be crossing the border on the 26th of March to do a little ice fishing trip for a few days. What can I expect with the hightened security going on? Are they searching every vehicle? How much time may be involved? Just wondering what to be prepared for. Thanks in advance!

It will be business as usual coming into Canada but going back to the states may be a little longer. Visas are required now for a lot of people and there is increased security at US borders. Good fishing

I live about 20 miles south of the border and know alot of the Border Patrol, Customs and Immigration guys. Like a prior post said, it is no problem getting into Canada but coming back you should be prepared. They are searching many more outfits and you should bring your passport and/or birth certificate and picture ID. Be patient with the guys at the border as they are just following orders from above. I don't mind spending a little more time at customs if it keeps some of the bad guys out.
