Cross-border travel on the train from New York to Montreal

Crossing the border from the U.S. into Canada on the train is a seamless and stress-free process, but there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure everything goes smoothly.

1. Bring the right travel documents getting into Canada: a valid passport is essential for crossing the U.S.-Canada border. If you’re a non-U.S. or Canadian citizen, be sure to check visa requirements for entry into Canada. Having all documents ready before boarding the train makes the process smooth.

2. Customs at the border: during your journey, there will be a stop at the U.S.-Canada border where customs officers board the train. They’ll review your documents and ask a few standard questions. Don’t worry, this process is straightforward and usually completed quickly.

3. Bring some CAD with you: once you arrive in Montreal, having some Canadian ($) dollars on hand can be useful, especially for small purchases like snacks or transportation. While most places accept credit cards, it’s always good to be prepared.

4. MTL language and culture: Montreal is a bilingual Canadian city with French as the primary language, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas. Don’t be shy about practicing a little French, it's fun and locals appreciate the effort!
