If you are looking to travel to Canada from Michigan, one of the ways you can get there is through the Windsor Tunnel. The Windsor Tunnel connects the United States to Canada through a highway that runs under Lake St. Clair in Detroit, Michigan. Having the correct identification and proper explanation set in place will assure that you will have a safe and hassle-free trip across the border to Canada.
Make sure that your vehicle is mechanically equipped to travel through the tunnel. Check headlights, taillights and coolant the day of your departure.
Place all of the following legal documents in a convenient location inside your vehicle for yourself and all of your passengers--birth certificates, passports, valid driver's licenses, copy of your vehicle's insurance and registration.
Drive to the United States ticket booth and pull up slowly in your vehicle. Pay the required toll in American money.
Proceed to enter the tunnel at the designated assigned speed limit.
Keep your headlights on at all times and stay in the designated lane.
Proceed to the Canadian customs booth. Approach the box office slowly and wait until the light flashes green for you to move your vehicle forward.
Answer all of the questions the customs officer will ask you honestly and thoroughly. Provide proof of United States citizenship by means of your birth certificate or passport. Give the customs officer your driver's license so that they can run a criminal check. State the true reason as to why you need to cross the border. If the customs officer asks for any of your passenger's legal information, pass it along and cooperate fully.
Proceed into Canada.
