does it cost money to get into canada
American entry into Canada by land Entry into Canada is solely determined by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials in accordance with Canadian law.[1] Visitors are required to have the necessary travel documentation and be in good health.[2] If asked, they must satisfy an immigration officer of ties to their country of origin, such as a job, home, and family.[2] They must also satisfy the officer that they will leave Canada at the end of their visit.[2] Additionally, they must have sufficient money for their stay,[2] and all items belonging to an individual, including the vehicle the individual may be traveling in, are subject to search by the CBSA.[citation needed]
Comparison of Canadian and American economies The taxes are applied the same as well. Canada's income tax system is more heavily biased against the highest income earners, thus while Canada's income tax rate is higher on average, the bottom fifty percent of the population is roughly taxed the same on income as in the United States. However, Canada has a national goods and services tax (GST) of 5% on most purchases, while the U.S. federal government does not, increasing the tax burden on Canadian low-income earners due to the proportional nature of a sales tax. Canadian GST does not tax food and other essentials and a GST rebate for low-income earners mitigates regressiveness.[7]
