Canada Laws
I am planning on a trip to Canada this summer and trying to find out what Canada's laws are regarding bringing alcohol, tobacco, and firearm into country. If any of you Canada guys or girls or anyone else know I would appreciate info. Also US laws regarding bringing these items into US from Canada.

Firearm information. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publicat...-13-2-eng.html
We were able to carry our long gun into Canada. We had to do a bunch of paperwork and the border agents had to visually inspect it.

Canada
When we went to the BRP 10 th Anniversary in Canada I phoned and tried to explain that I needed my gun for protection as I will be touring all over the States before and after the home coming in Valcourt. I was told absolutely NO I could not bring a handgun in to Canada although they did suggest that if I knew where at what point of entry I would be going through into Canada that I could call that border post and they may help out by leaving the gun in a lockup at the border but of course we had to exit Canada at the same border crossing.

Bring nothing of the things you wrote, no guns, these simple nothing to defend, you will not cross the border, they are very strict.
you have to show white paws.

As many have said no guns.Any adult can bring in a bottle of booze or beer or cigs.Stop at the duty free and they'll tell you what you can purchase and you'll save on the taxes

That even includes BB and pellet guns. Don't try to bring them. Not sure about tobacco products and the maximum of beer/wine, but you are allowed 40 OZs of distilled spirits for each adult. If you are over limit on any item, by all means declare your ovrage. You MAY be allowed to just pay duty on the overage. Or, they may confiscate any excessive ammount. It is all up to the discretion of the Canadian Officer. If you are over and don't declare that overage, you are in for an experience that will make you think you have just entered a hostile country as an international smuggler. That can involve all kind of bad things like taking your vehicle apart (and not putting it back together), conficating all your liquor and tobacco, and even confiscating your vehicle. Buying liquor and tobacco in Canada is roughly twice the price of most US markets which is why some try to bring their own. Above all, do not be confrontative. You will loose. Do your homework. Travel at or below the amounts allowed, be polite, and no joking..... And remember, what may be legal here, like weed, may get you jail time in Canada. I have not kept up with the Canadian laws about marajuana and that is an ever-changing issue. But I would not even take a chance. The consequences are too severe. A little hint that has worked well for me..... My choice of cocktail is rum and diet cola. Before entering Canada I will buy roughly 40 OZ of 151 rum. Then when I have a cocktail I use about 1/3 the amount of rum in my drink. 40 OZ of 151 goes a long way..... Good luck..... Jim

Can’t imagine where you would go here in Canada while “touring” that you would feel the need for a gun but anyway, buy your booze at a duty free store on the US side prior to entering Canada, much cheaper. Our standard beer is 5% alcohol, each region has its own popular beer...ie in Saskatchewan it is brand name Pilsner, lots of micro brews around too.
Pot....legal to buy and possess in small amounts, products all regulated by government, prices are higher than street...edibles not legal yet at least not in my province...DONT TRY AND BRING BACK TO USA...duh.

Totally agree with this entire statement. Absolutely no need for a gun up here. full stop, end of statement. Taking pot back to the states, remember it may be legal in SOME states, but the boarder guards work for the Feds, and it's still illegal by them.

Also when coming back into the USA, you are generally treated like someone coming in to do great harm, expect it, answer the questions ask, and some of them are asked several different ways.
They generally don't smile.
Ashamed to be treated like they do!

I think it depends on where you cross the border. I've had that experience in some crossings, particularly on the Canadian side. When I've crossed into the USA at smaller points, I've been treated really well. Once I couldn't find my passport. The officer and I tore up my luggage and almost took my Spyder apart. He found the 5 bullets I forgot to take out of my purse when I removed my gun at home. After about an hour he let me go on. I think he figured a Canadian wouldn't be packing ammo and a terrorist would have a gun, too!

A touch off topic....
In 2010 we made a trip to Whitehorse YK territories. The spouse rolled ahead on her Spyder before told to. They pulled her off to the side and gave her the "treatment." Motto: they don't fool around anymore. Yes Sir, no Maam, and do what they ask or say. Murphy's Law will get you every time. If you don't have it....they cannot arrest you for it.
Now....back to the program

I agree with all the above. Last time I crossed over the Top Of The World Hwy from Alaska with the Spyder, the lady at the border crossing first question was, how many soles on board. Well I
couldt help laughing, she reolized her mistake but didnt think it was that funny. Just answer the questions, Ha Ha. Have a good trip.

What is the definition of "easily opened pocket knives"? Switchblades?
