So I am reading over procedures for entering Canada this summer to visit Niagara Falls and Toronto and it's a bit more complicated than it seemed when other adults were making all the decisions for our 1997 band trip. It seemed like no big deal at the time, we just needed a birth certificate. I am wondering if any of you have done a Canada visit more recently?

We both has passports so are good to go with that.

Specifically, we were considering taking my fiances car, which is owned by her parents. I found that we are going to need to get a letter signed by her parents saying they know we are borrowing the car and taking it to Canada, so I may try to do that. I don't really fancy taking my truck to Canada... it's really hard to park and its gas mileage stinks.

I am also wondering about electronics. It says customs agents can search your laptops and cell phones. Do they typically do this? I am not planning to take any laptops, but we would have our iPhones with us. Do iPhones on ATT's network work in Canada? I have no idea.

I know that I need to contact the credit card companies and let them know we will be out of country and I plan to do that closer to the date.

Anything else I need to know about this? I am realizing that there is a lot I don't know. Glad I am reading about it before hand.
