Hi All,
Figured the AC Board would be a good place to ask this question: UK passport holder. So no visa needed, as I understand it. But, when you enter Canada, what forms do you have to fill out? Just the Declaration Card one which is a lot like the US Customs Form? Or is there more than one?
Thanks in advance for the help

Customs & Immigration card only all on one form, make sure you smile at the Immigration officer

I've always found CBP to be way more friendly than their USA counterparts.

Ironically, CBP is the acronym for the US Customs and Border Protection Service.
We Canadians use CBSA for our Canada Border Services Agency.
I've always found CBP to be way more friendly than their USA counterparts.
What's your citizenship? What passport do you present when entering Canada? What passport do you present when entering the USA?

I was asking what passport Redtop43 was presenting when he found CBSA to be more friendly than CBP.
Near as I can tell, that isn't stated anywhere in this thread.

The good news is that Canada has changed the card in the last few years to read
Meat/meat products; dairy products; fruits; vegetables; seeds; nuts; plants and animals or their parts/products; cut flowers; soil; wood/wood products; birds; insects.
instead of food which was there before hand.
Now, when you bring back coffee or other souvenir food items, you don't get hassled as much.

But coffee is parts/product of plants.
Why they would have to list "seeds" separately - I dunno. Maybe to emphasize.
