General Aviation flight to Canada. PLZ help!

[EMBpilot]

Hi all,

I am looking for help to prepare for a VFR crosscountry flight from Denver to Calgary, Canada.

I haven't been in a small airplane since mid 90's and have never flown to Canada except airline operations.

Is GA flying in Canada any different?
Do you have to file a VFR flight plan?
Do you have to go through customs upon arrival there?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Just remember that when you cross the border your indicated airspeed is in Kilometers not MPH.
