Hello all!
I'm an American citizen married to a Canadian citizen. The last time I was in Canada was in 2012. Since then my husband has a work visa here in the US since May of 2013.
We plan on taking a vacation so I can see where he grew up, meet his extended family, etc.
He is taking a leave of absence from work, as am I. We plan on driving up the coast, camping along the way, and only bringing clothes for the trip, which we plan on from August 10 to October 8, being in Canada that is. I called up to the border and the lady told me the only thing I need to bring is my passport and to tell the border I am visiting with my husband to see his extended family, etc.
The reason I am posting is because I am reading many different stories on being married to a Canadian and coming to visit with him.
So I suppose my question is should I bring additional paperwork just in case the border is asking additional questions? I have mail, pay slips, health insurance bills, credit cards bills, etc. I mean, my husband works here in the States and has the visa stapled in his passport, so I'm not sure if they will call us "inside" to ask additional questions.
Does anyone have any advice on this? Everything I've read is American spouses coming over with their canadian citizen spouse and wanting to do PR. We are coming to visit for two months with his family...so I'm unsure. Lol. I hope this all makes sense.
Thank you!
