With the Freedom of Info act and Passport requirements you must make sure you or your pax don't have any DUI's/DWI's. Canada considers them an inadmissable for entry offense and a waiver must be obtained prior to entry.

Also both parents must be present to bring a child into Canada unless the non travelling parent signs a notarized letter of authorization. The letter must be the raised seal original and not a copy.

And ALWAYS check passports and passport expirations prior to departure!

Have fun!

So calling Customs on both ends is all that has to be done going and coming??? And of course paperwork once there?

I think you got your answers already but. . .yes, and yes.

All that is required is a phone call to CANPASS before you leave for Canada, and a phone call to CANPASS once you get there. Many times customs won't even come out to meet you even it you land at a major airport like Winnipeg. They ask if there are any changes and give you your inbound clearance number over the phone.

Coming to the states, you can go from Winnipeg to any international airport assuming you will land during normal business hours. You have to make sure they know you're coming though, phone call is best. Ask for officer's name and badge number so you have proof you talked to somebody in case there is a mix-up (which occasionally happens).

Go to this link and look at the guide, it has all the info you will need.

Also don't forget your customs user fee decal.

You can apply online for the decal and get it shipped quickly if you need to.
