We all know we should have a passport when crossing the border, but CARP had some other interesting suggestions.
Given that one thing the US Immigration is worried about is that you might be slipping into the country to stay, it is suggested that you travel with proof that you maintain a residence in Canada. Such as a Hydro bill, a property tax bill, a pay stub, a bank statement.
You may never be asked for them, but it is very reassuring to have that envelope in your pocket just in case.
My sister was once crossing the border, with an American friend, for a visit. She had a valid passport, but absolutely no proof that she resided in Canada ( who drives around with a hydro bill in their purse?), and she was turned away at the border.
