For Mr. Parkers benefit, every port of entry into Canada has a French lane which is mandated by Canadian Federal law. Canada is a bilingual country !

Jordan There is no shoulder in the tunnel or the bridge but you will have no trouble. Tale the Bridge in and tunnel out. That way you will get a panoramic view going in. If you take the tunnel in you will see tail lights and cement. The tunnel and the bridge are a mile plus long.

Jordan If you are in no hurry, you should enter Canada about 50 miles North of Detroit by the Bluewater Bridge that connects Port Huron, Michigan and Sarnia, Ontario. Much, much prettier, scenic and not near as busy !

Yes Al, we are a bilingual country, and all the Border people must be fluent in both languages, but as for a separate lane, I've never seen one! How do they identify this to oncoming traffic? Please explain.....

We will be in a hurry, so we will probably just stick with the bridge/tunnel. THANKS Luckyal !!!

Mr. Parker
They of course are identified with lighted overhead signs at the larger ports of entry and post signs at the smaller ports. All officers are not bilingual ! About half the positions are designated bilingual. Of course only bilingual offers are posted to the bilingual lanes.
Hope this explanation is sufficient ! I am happy to ad to your education.

A passport is required if traveling by air and by ship. Washington state issues an Enhanced drivers license which is perfectly acceptable for auto travel.

Does your state issue the Enhanced license? Typically you make an appointment at the DMV and provide birth certificate, voting registration card, a passport if you have one, and other citizen documents. Call the DMV asd inquire as to what they need for issuances.

Have fun...

What is important is what documentation you need to reenter to the USA!!

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/74


US Citizens - Documents needed for entry into the U.S.

What documents, identification, and paperwork does a U.S. citizen need to travel internationally?


If you are traveling in the Western Hemisphere (Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America):
Air Travel: All U.S. citizens departing from or entering the United States from within the Western Hemisphere by air are required to present a valid passport or NEXUS card (if utilizing a NEXUS kiosk when departing from a designated Canadian airport). Merchant Mariner Document (for U.S. citizens on official maritime business.) Note that children are also required to present their own passport when traveling by air.
Land or Sea Travel: U.S. citizens entering the United States by land or sea are required to present a valid WHTI-compliant document, which include:
  • U.S. Passports
  • U.S. Passport Cards
  • Enhanced Driver's Licenses
  • Trusted Traveler Cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST)
  • Military Identification Cards (for members of the U.S. armed forces on official orders)
  • U.S. Merchant Mariner Document (for U.S. citizens on official maritime business)
Military personnel traveling under orders may present photo ID and orders. Family members must present a passport (with the exception of children 15 and younger arriving by land or sea.)

Thanks for your question. It prompted me to finally register. Before coming way up north, do some research for the areas you plan to visit and get some names and phone numbers of antique car clubs and their members. If you happen to have some problems you will be amazed at the help that will be offerred. Also, don,t short change yourself. Spend some time, enjoy the country, and get to know us.
