If you're driving, you have to leave the U.S. and travel through Canada to get
here. And that means you need to think about rules for international travel:
You'll need your passport or Nexus card to cross the border.
Visit cbp.gov for updated identification requirements.
If you're bringing a dog or cat, you'll need proof of current rabies
vaccination.
If you're bringing a firearm through Canada, please visit the Canadian Firearms Centre at rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
Please note: you cannot enter Canada if you have a criminal record (including a DUI).
These rules can change, so get the latest at cbp.gov.
