If you plan to fish/site see via a boat, in Canada, you must check into Canadian Customs. If Canadian Customs is not open, and you have an RABC permit, you may enter into Canada without stopping at customs.

In addition, if you do not touch land while in Canada, even though you checked in at their dock, you may return to the U.S. without having to check into U.S. customs, otherwise if you do touch land while in Canada, you must check back into U.S. Customs. NOTE: It is projected that as of June 2009, there will be another change for identification guidelines
