Big Brown Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 So I have a DWI that is 4+ years old and I may be looking to head into Canada via Rainy Lake in August via boat. In reading this I think it is my understanding that I will need to do two things. Apply for a temp. permit since it is between 3-5 years and then get a RABC. I am wondering can I go to a border crossing station in I Falls and get all this done in one day ahead of time? If I go there, bring all the information, pay the fine and fees will they process the paper work and issue the RABC? I was thinking of doing this a few weeks prior to needing it. Will that work?I didn't see this covered anywhere but if it was I apologize.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd contact the Canadian customs office in Fort Frances first and ask them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyeyes Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hemlock, how much if any extra gasoline for the boats can we bring with? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think the common answer is a "reasonable amount for your trip"...I'm not sure of any exact amounts, but I know for a fact friends/relatives who have islands up here bring many(5-8) extra 5 gallon cans....is that reasonable because they are going to be spending two weeks on an island, in my opinion yes.I think bringing what you'll need is the norm.

Wallyeyes Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Great, thanks. I think we're planning on bringing three 5 gal. cans, so we should be good. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine_man Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 You'll be just fine - we bring that much every year without any issues.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishook Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Need some help with a Canadian/US border crossing question. My wife and I are making our annual trip to Canada later this summer. We have our passports and know pretty much what we need to do. This year we would like to take our 12 year old grandson. I know this gets tricky when anyone crosses with children. Questions: Will he need a passport or will a birth certificate suffice? What documentation do we need to prove he is our grandson? Is there a HSOforum or reference I can check to find out how this all works? Thanks for any suggestions/answersw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishook Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 For Ontario Nonresident: Annual is $66.40; annual conservation license (generally half the normal possession limit) is $40.64; 8 Day (must be consecutive days) $42.62; and 8 day conservation is $24.78. Can't help with what other pvovinces charge. Good Luck on your trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul pachowicz Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 speaking of Canada fishin; 3 of us are lookin for a 4th for a trip during the 1st week of June, 2009. One of our parteners is unable to make it then. I travel from western SoDak to the Albert Lea area and meet up with 2 others and we go from there. We fish above Armstrong, Ontario, fly in for 8 days. Great northern and walleye. If anyone is interested in the details, contact me GRNKPR @AOL.COM. There are a few "can & can nots". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 passport or birth certificate is still working to get back into MN from CA? I have passport but friend does not, I think he has birth cert.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yes, until June 1, I believe. I need to get mine, as we are entering in May, but coming back to the USA in June. I whole heartedly support this measure, as long as they "strictly" enforce it on the southern border. The passport thing is a good deal.

Azrael Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 If a person just got there criminal record expunged from a couple of convictions seven years ago, do you still have to disclose any info to the border agent when asked if you had any prior convictions?And if yes, do you suppose that person would have to jump through the hoops in Canada to get rehabilitation there also?

Hemlock Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I would call Canada Customs, be honest with them, and pose that question to them....Phone numbers are listed on the first page of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlt123 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Why not just have a criminal background check ran on yourself and see if something pops up. I would think the local police department would do this or a lawyer could do it. Would be cheaper in the long run and you would know what to expect.

Ed Carlson Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 What is the new date for mandatory passport required for drive in to Canada?I did hear Feb 09, is this correct? Than we better get on it if we lack one, because it can take up to 6 weeks to get back.Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 June 1, 2009. Go the the US Border Patrol site. You can do a passport ($100), a passport card ($45), or an enhanced driver's license ($15 to $30), depending on your state. Both the passport and card are good for ten years. The passport allows air, land, and sea reentry back into the USA. The card is good for land and sea reentry only. The enhanced driver's license doesn't appear to be available for any of us, i.e. ND, NE, MN, etc. **Disclaimer** This is how I interpreted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_Bear Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Anyone been through customs with a shoplifting or theft charge? I think it's classified as a Class B Misdemeanor here in the states. Just wondering if that will cause us any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov1900 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 A friend of mine made it through one time, however it was kind of a drawn out deal. He was never convicted of it, but was still on his record. You may want to call them (Canada) before you go and get verification. I don't exactly know what their requirements are for theft.

jerkin'm Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Felony theft over 10K and you are NEVER allowed into Canada..Under 10K and you have the normal "waiting" period..If he's passed the 5-10year time frame he should be fine..It WILL cause you a slow down with a long questioning period in the "back room" though..

Ed Carlson Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Customs was handing out fliers this week stating June 1 2009 as the official start date for the passport or Passport card requirement. So apparently that date is still firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
