carolinacaniac Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I may be going back to my old home town of Bremerton, WA next summer around the 4th of July with my girlfriend. While there I wanna hit the Fun Forest, Wild Waves, and PNE Playland in Vacouver. There is one thing I wanted to know about going into Canada, and that is if it would be possible for me and my girlfriend to cross the boarder and back with a vehicle that is not ours (i.e. a rental or my dad's truck or my grandma's car). I also wanted to know if it is now required that you have passports to go into and back out of Canada, or is that something that is being changed later/not being changed? I appreciate anyone's input!

Skyfly Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 As to the car, I've driven another person's car into Canada the last few years. It was never a problem going in either direction. I also got a notorized statement from the owner of the car saying that I had permission to drive it into Canada and back. I never needed it, but it's a good safety net.

roasted_marshmallow Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Passports aren't required yet, and I don't think they will be next summer, but you'll need photo ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks for the info guys! I can't wait wo get back to good old Bremerton, and get a chance to ride the Coasters at PNE, as well as the coasters built at Wild Waves since I last went back in 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roasted_marshmallow Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 You should really go to Edmonton and ride MindBender at West Edmonton Mall and rub in the game 7 win.... Sincerely, A Flames Fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 ^ Yeah, go to Edmonton. It's only roughly 1000km+ and a 15 hour drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Some rental agreements do not allow you to take a car out of state without prior, I'm sure the same might be true for out of country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 See, at least Leafs fans are used to playoff letdowns by now. ...Did I say that out loud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yeah, but we're consoled by the fact that we'll always be Canada's main team even if we don't win a cup in the next century and all other Canadian teams with 10 each. It's nice to be in the centre of the universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roasted_marshmallow Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Eye rolling smilies do not imply sarcasm, they imply the poster your comment is directed at is an idiot. And I'm fine with the Game 7 loss. Unlike Oiler fans, Flames fans don't live in the past. For your sake, I hope you aren't a Leaf fan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the sad truth for Flames/Oilers/Senators/Canadians fans is that Leafs nation does in fact out number the other teams. We're Canada's team in numbers wether the other teams want to admit it or not. But I think we've gone on enough of a tangent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USRoadTripper Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Sorry to break up your enlightening discussion But I actually have some expeirence with this. I drove my dad's car into and out of Canada last year, and didn't really have any trouble, though I did get the third degree about it! The border guard when I was re-entering the States asked for my license plate number. When I didn't know it off the top of my head, he asked if the car was mine, and I said it was my dad's. I remember him asking me about where my parents lived, if they knew that I had it, how long they'd lived there, what my dad did for a living...just really random questions. I also got the third degree about who I had gone to see, how long I'd known him, where I met him, etc. And it definitely wasn't in a chit-chatty get to know you type of conversation. The guard actually acted like my answers hadn't been good enough to let me back in! He did of course, but he really acted like he didn't want to let me back in! And regarding what ID you need, you need to bring a birth certificate (or certificate of birth abroad or whatever else you might have) as well as a government issued photo ID. -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough about the Leafs and 40 years of some of the highest ticket prices in the league, longest season ticket wait list, and longest stretch of futility... We won't comment how the number of Leaf fans is directly proportionate to the number of stupid people in the world... which far outnumber the smart ones. That's quite enough of a tangent.

Carnage Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 How do you know I'm not a Winipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes fan? Since when are the Nordiques Canada's only defunct team??

carolinacaniac Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 I never thought about the whole rubbing it in factor.........but then agian I probably should refrain since I know how irritated i was when my step-dad rubbed the steelers "handed-over" superbowl win over the good old seahawks. You think I could just use a passport and Driver's Licence instead of a birth cirtificate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
