What documents do I need to cross the US border from Canada by car?
A valid passport, Trusted Traveler Program card, or enhanced driver’s licence (EDL) or enhanced identification card (EIC) from a province or territory where a US approved EDL/EIC program has been implemented are all acceptable forms of identification when travelling to the United States.
The EDL/EIC is a special drivers license or identification card that allows the holder to cross the US-Canada border without a passport. The NEXUS card is a similar program that is available in some areas and allows for quicker border crossings. The FAST card is used by truck drivers who are participating in the Free and Secure Trade program. Canadian citizens can use their citizenship card to cross the border. Certificate of Indian Status holders can also use their card to cross the border.
Can I drive my car from US to Canada?
You can bring your vehicle into Canada temporarily as a visitor or temporary resident. Your vehicle doesn’t have to meet Canadian standards and must be only for your own use. You can also bring your vehicle for personal use while you’re in Canada on a work permit or student visa.
If you’re crossing the Canadian border by car, you need to show proof of citizenship and identity. For US citizens, a valid passport book, a passport card, or a NEXUS card are sufficient to satisfy the requirement.
Can I visit Canada with my car

For example, some provinces require an International Driving Permit. Check the website of the province or territory you’re visiting for more information.

Is there a fee to enter Canada by car

Can a US citizen see a doctor in Canada?
If you are a foreign visitor to Canada, you can visit any doctor or hospital, as long as you pay the bill. Relatively small amounts, you pay upon your visit. After you returned home, send the medical bill to your insurance company.
If you have Medicare and you travel to Canada, your healthcare costs will not be covered, even if the services or medications provided would normally be covered in the United States. This is because in general, Medicare only covers recipients while in the United States. So if you are planning to travel outside of the US, it is important to make sure that you have other insurance that will cover you in case you need medical care.
