Some Tips of Entering Canada

•  US citizens and residents should carry either a birth or baptismal certificate and at least one ID card with photo or a passport. A current US driver's license is NOT accepted as proof of citizenship. Naturalized citizens should be able to produce documents proving citizenship, such as a green card. Visitors from countries other than the United States must have a valid passport and may require other documentation such as visas or alien cards permitting entry.
•  All persons entering Canada must fill out a declaration for Canada Customs. Like most countries, Canada has requirements and restrictions on goods such as firearms, animals and animal products, endangered species and fresh fruit and vegetables as well as certain food and drug products.
•  Goods for your personal use while in Canada ,including clothing, stereos, cameras, tape recorders, personal computers, sporting equipment, boats and outboard motors are admitted free of duties and taxes, provided you declare them when entering the country and they are exported when you leave.
•  Persons aged 19 and older may bring into Canada up to 50 cigars, 200 cigarettes and 200 g (8 oz) of tobacco. Persons aged 19 and over may bring into Canada 1.14 l (40 oz) of spirits or wine or, in lieu, 8.5 l (288 oz) of beer or ale. Revolvers, pistols and fully-automatic firearms are not allowed into Canada. All other weapons (such as hunting rifles and shotguns) must be declared.
•  All plant material must also be declared to Canada Customs at the point of entry. Authority to import plant material from all countries must be obtained in advance. Many agricultural items are restricted or are prohibited entry to Canada.
•  Visitors are allowed to bring gifts for relatives and friends into Canada duty free if each gift is valued at $60 Canadian or less. If the value of the gift is more than $60 Canadian, you may have to pay duties and taxes. You cannot bring tobacco and alcohol products as gifts.

How to Pack

It is better not to bring a lot of package at the first time of going abroad. You should make copies for the important documents such as passport, visa, letter of enrollment from school and others in case of lost. Also, you’d better bring 20 passport sized pictures and electric dictionary for future use.

How to select an air line

It is better to choose a line with less change and arrive to school during working days. Please note to confirm your seat three days before of departure. Also, it is better to download or copy the local map.
