But don't make the mistake we did of trying to cross at a tiny border crossing. If you're going in commercially they're likely to send you (as they did us) to a larger crossing.
(Back when you could do Burlington-Ottawa-Montreal in a weekend we were driving to Ottawa. Blindly following GPS directions I think it took us on US 11 to a small crossing north of Rouses Point. They made us turn around and cross on I-89.)
