I've hiked into Canada twice without obtaining a permit beforehand. I
suppose if someone of authority was at or near the border they could have turned me
around around, but I never saw anyone. I found it's harder to get back into
the country. If you don't have a passport, make sure you have a BIRTH
CERTIFICATE and a drivers license with photo.
I'm not suggesting everyone hike into Canada without a permit, but in my
case, I may have been denied for an unfortunate incident 20 years ago.
