Crossing Border From Canada to US
The video has been uploaded by Desi Immigrant in Canada. He talks about his recent trip from Ottawa, Canada to Pitsburg, USA. The journey is around 900 km long. He made an overnight halt in Toronto and then continued on to Pitsburg the next day. Being a weekend, the border near Niagra Falls was quite busy. Hence, you must keep in mind that travelling across the border, including toll and immigration formalities, will take a couple of hours. Also, if you are travelling to the US for the first time, there might be additional formalities needed.

This includes things like valid car insurance (whether you are travelling in a rented or a personal car), a valid driving license (generally, a regular Canadian driver’s license is valid in the US too), valid mobile carrier services (since you are leaving Canada, the tariffs will no longer be valid and you will need to activate roaming facilities for your service provider), speed limits (Canada uses km/h, while the US uses mph units), and some US currency to pay at the tolls or such places where credit cars might not be accepted. We hope you got some useful information from this post to ease your travel across the US-Canada border.
