Some Tips For a Stress Free Border Crossing

Aug 4, 2018 | 12:26 AM

CAA Saskatchewan has some suggestions for faster processing at the U-S border.

Passports are needed for all children from newborn to 16 years of age.

Pets need rabies vaccinations at least a month in advance with veterinary proof.

Carrying liquid milk may mean a lengthy wait but powdered milk, infant formula, water, juice, baby food and freezer packs are allowed.

And travelers with undeclared criminal records could be in for big trouble if caught. CAA suggests checking with the U-S Consulate as not all crimes prevent entry into the country.

In some cases documentation will be needed.

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
