Don't forget, Thanksgiving is in October too. It's actually a very expensive month for travel.

They do photos, fingerprints, chat about where you are going and why. You give them some money and then hand over your visa. If you are not likely to be returning to the USA before the visa expires make sure you hand it in on your return to Canada otherwise it looks as if you have not left the US.

So basically it's still no different going by land than it was a few years ago when I last ventured over the border. Fill in the card, pay a few US$ and hand the card in when you leave ?

Great. Just checked on a US site and it doesn't mention anything different for land v's air. No big deal but would be nice to get off the boat on the cruise and not be stuck on there.

Thanks - I and my family in the UK have used them loads in the past. Unfortunately they stop flying here on October 3rd so no use to us this trip :(

Any ideas? Or anyone with a bucketload of airmiles they don't need :p

There is some deal on between CIBC VISA Aerogold and Air Transat where you only need 15K points to go from airports in eastern Canada..I think CYUL is one of them to the UK. You normally need 60K points...I don't think the taxes are covered. It came in our latest VISA statement from CIBC.
