Mel: I am Canadian, and I cross by ground transportation twice weekly. My experience has been very good going both ways. If anything I've had Canadian Customs scrutinize my ID more closely than US. I also have run across many Americans who will tell you much the same, only in their case it is US Customs being difficult.

I have been asked for Photo ID both ways as well as Birth Certificate. Photo ID probably 10% of the time and Birth Certificate a fraction on that. Even when they look at Birth Certificate, Photo ID is still a must. No question though passports are coming and will be necessary. I can see air travel already demanding this.

The other thing one must remember is when you cross as often as I do these guys start to recognize you, they maybe can't put a name on you, until they see the ID. The key to crossing is know exactly where you are going when asked. No humming and hawing, even a hesitation can cause you to produce your Photo ID.

I have witnessed some people being aprehended at the border and the fashion in which it was done, I'm convinced both Canadian and US customs have the technology to know who is approaching when they are yet some miles away.
