Detroit/Windsor Land Crossing (First Time)
Hi! My best friend and I are both U.S. citizens (both adults), and we’ll be crossing the Detroit bridge into Windsor, Canada next month by bus, then taking the train to Toronto. This will be our first international trip.
I have both a valid U.S. passport and an Enhanced Michigan ID. My best friend only has an Enhanced Michigan ID.
I’ve watched a lot of videos of people crossing the border, but I’ve never done it myself, so I’m a little nervous, especially about returning to the U.S.
What should we expect when crossing into Canada and when coming back into the U.S.? What kinds of questions do they usually ask? Are there any documents we should have ready besides our IDs, or any tips that would make the process smoother?
Any advice for first-time land border crossers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
