Depends. For a US citizen it probably is that way. For a Finn it is the reverse. Crossing the border at Sarnia with my wife was a pleasant experience. We were steeling ourselves for a delay after seeing the long line of Americans being questioned (I guess the border guard just happened to be on alert looking for handguns or something). A Mounty respected officer of the R.C.M.P. happened to notice the covers of our passports. Waved us out of the line, grabbed the passports, stamped them, and said "Welcome to Canada".
Or may be it is a conspiracy of Hockey fans?
Blue Kitty:
In my experience getting into Canada was pretty easy, then again I went through Michigan. Flashed the passports and kept driving. I twas much more nerve racking coming back. We were freaking out a little, thinking they would pull us out of line or something, we almost forgot why we spent the weekend in Canada.
Liz:
When going into Canada with Eed for Tronnocon she tought us a trick: on you way in, be exceedingly polite to the nice Canadians. On your way back, pick a male attendant and flirt like hell.
You get in and out faster. How about that.
The Seldom Killer:
Despite holding a Canadian passport, I find that my passing of the border in either direction is eased by hamming up a home counties accent. I've never lived in the home counties, but exploiting rampant anglophilia isn't beneath me.
Inlander:
When coming back to Australia I've found that the best thing to do is to bring a book to read while you're queuing for hours while the hundreds of people in front of you get their luggage screened and dissected and scrutinised in extreme detail.
Australian customs and quarantine: they don't muck around.
