Hi there, I'm from the US but love to visit Vancouver for providers. If I moved to Seattle, can I drive across the border once or twice a month? Would Border Security be sketched out seeing a single male traveling back and forth? Appreciate any feedback from anyone in the same boat.
Crossing from Seattle?
- Thread starter tommywong
- Start date
The 90+ minutes from Seattle to The Border is more problematic than the actual crossing. I 'enter' Canada 3-4 times each month and have only gone through secondary inspection twice in 15 years of regular/semi-regular visits.
A couple of points to note: make certain you have a clean driving record w/no DUI's, if you have any weapons leave them at home (I don't so no worries), keep you phone/devices clear of any questionable contacts/conversations, make an effort to clean any clutter/trash from your interior and open both the drivers and rear passenger windows for the border agent to easily look inside.
Pro tip #1...get a NEXUS Pass
Pro tip #2...only answer the question(s) that the agent is asking (no long-winded explanation)
Pro tip #3...be warm/natural and make 'soft' eye contact when being questioned
Pro tip #4...exchange your USD to CDN prior to heading north for the best exchange rate
Pro tip #5...fill your tank State-side (omg!)
oh, and start a petition to make Washington State the 11th Province
All good advice. But we might want to just make it a territory, and we might want to change the name.
It is probably best if you have a good reason to repeatedly visit.
Here's a suggestion: There are close to 100 microbreweries in the Lower Mainland.
If you were a craft beer aficionado, checking some of them out on each visit would seem legit.
Thanks for the Pro tips. Sounds like it shouldn't be an issue crossing over. Out of curiosity is it common for guys in Seattle to visit Canada for providers?
Once in a while you might want to sample what is in Victoria. May I suggest you take the Clipper, or the nice drive to Port Angeles and take the Coho. The brew pubs in Victoria are pretty good too.
I have had quite a few clients drive up from the USA to see me and they have mentioned delays sometimes but usually no issues. Getting a Nexus will speed up your travels abroad, too.
I also would suggest to use this website to look up prospective providers you may see to make sure they are legit, especially if using other websites than this to search ads, and to make sure they are reputable and reliable. I hope you find some amazing ladies to see as there are lots of beautiful Canadian women here to see!

Vancouver has better selection for Independents, FAR more options for Asians, Agencies (none in Seattle), and your money goes further. I’d be up there frequently if I didn’t have obligations down here. I would have to assume these reasons would make it somewhat common.
PS, +1 on taking the (fast) clipper. Nice to sit back and not worry about the driving
