You have to be talking and squawking a transponder code, to fly in canadian airspace from the US.  Easiest way is to file a VFR or IFR flight plan. Not sure about the current additional requirements for actually landing in Canada, I fly over it to get to eastern US.

Bliss,,

No problem at all,

All you need to do is file with lockeed (FAA flight plan) and then dial 1800-Canpass 2 hrs before you are expected to land and an airport with customs (look in the CFS), then once on the ground, a border agent will meet you, and clear you through,

Are you importing the plane? if so, they will want some $$$ for taxes etc.

Let me know if I can help any, Im local to Calgary.

The last 2X I crossed I called from the ground in Canada (after the 2 hour notice etc.) and they agent simply gave me a # to write down...never met a person...going the other way ...a little different..

Thanks everyone.
Will be a great help when I fly back to Canada.
But important thing is $...I bought a Long Ez for $10 as in bill of sale.
Because I bought most parts myself. Now A/C is Tax free to import I think?
I already paid tax when I bought parts of the plane and I pay again?
Somebody tell me what I shoud do.
