AFAIK that only happens with planes and boats, where the transporting company is on the hook for sending you back if the border at the destination turns you away. I've driven into Canada numerous times and never encountered any sort of American checkpoint before the Canadian border. But when I get onto a ferry in America that goes to Canada, they do check my passport first before I get onto the ferry.
- jacquesm 4y agoThis was the bridge into Canada at the Sault Ste. Marie checkpoint. The traffic was backed up for a very long stretch and it is the only time I've been stopped there outbound from the USA so maybe they were looking for something specific, still, it really upset my plans at the time, and I was already pretty tired from the trip and only about 45 minutes driving time from home.
