Granted I know COVID is still a problem, but a friend and I started having this conversation....just exploring the feasibility of it all...

The plan so far is to fly down to San Diego, and walk across the border, and taxi it to "Zona Norte", stay at 'that' hotel for 2-3 nights, walk back across the border back to San Diego airport, fly home.....

I guess my only real issue is, how hard is it to cross the boarder on foot (or if there is a shuttle) with a Canadian passport?

I would think the issue would be having to self-quarantine once you return to Canada (I believe if you set-foot in that 'crack-house' below the 49th parallel, you'll be on 'lock-down' for two weeks)

Oh I realize COVID is a still a problem, but eventually it won't be. And when everything opens up, and quarantines stops, and things go back to "normal",...plans are being made....

I suppose I should rephrase the question and ask, "Has anyone (before this COVID mess) done any weekend jaunts from Vancouver to Tijuana, via San Diego by foot across the boarder and back? Especially with a Canadian Passport?"

A member posted this thorough account of such a trip last year, right before everything went to shit.

You could fly down via San Diego, but the US border agents won’t let you back in afterwards unless you’re a citizen of course. Mind you all the clubs are closed, the big famous ones anyway, you could fly to TJ via Mexico City and back the same way. Full day of of travel minimum and the 14 day quarantine though...There is barely any flight coverage to TJ from the US because of its proximity to San Diego. I’ll personally wait till the 14 day quarantine is dropped before going anywhere but maybe even longer until I visit or even transit the USA.

I am in TJ right now. Was nervous about being let in. Not a single hard question was asked. Just give them your passport and they ask how many days. I said 3 they put down 7 days on the paper. The clubs are open but upstairs not ground level. Ladies are not wearing a mask at all. Mexico does let and let live alright.

how'd you pull-off that trick? are you concerned about being able to return? I guess if we're the most infected country, getting back in wouldn't be the issue, lol

you mean the Cascadia hotel. It kind noisy with people 24/7 in the hallways.

no trick, the agent does not even care. I have looked at lots of YouTube videos about Zona Norte and no one has any issues going into MX even though it’s border on foot is technically off limits except for essentials.

You’re American though right? I’ve read about Canadians welcomed my Mexican officials but turned away trying to get back into the USA via the land border.

Its just too easy, there are pay parking lots on the US side and you just walk across, we encountered a herd of kids begging for money. They try ripping your wallet out of your hands if you pull it out to give them some cash, the border is nothing they dont care if they see the Canadian passport they wave you across. Coming back US customs are much more carefull whom they let in. Saw hundreds of Mexicans rush the border and run down the interstate with Vans and helicopter chasing them to round them up. There are always lots that make it, its nuts down there.

Hong Kong was bumping for Thursday night. If you ever wanted to be in fantasy land, go to HK late night. The choices were unreal. I think I am going back in 4 more months, 6 months in between is too long. Just enough time for my ATM card to heal.

Coming back to USA no problem. I have Nexus card and use it just like Sentri down here. Did not get ask why you crossed. It's just as no C19 ever happened. I will have to say I live in Trump land. If no Nexus depending on time of day you will stand in the line of your lifetime

I think a distinction should be made though that as a US citizen, nexus holder or not, you have a right to return across the land border that a Canadian would not.

Pre covid it was very easy to cross the border on foot both ways. A tram will take you from San Diego right to the border. On the way back, you skip the long line up of Mexicans and go to the non Mexicans line. Its fast.

Macau is also a good place. For a $100 special you get overnight bed, hot pool, sauna, food, 1 hour happy massage or if within certain hour a full service. A long line up is also available if you want to pay extra hundred for a second chance.

That's crazy harsh. USA should let every Canadian in. Some of these laws don't make sense. Canadians are allowed to fly into the states but not on foot or car. What's the deal behind that
An airplane kills the virus?

Yeah, this is what I'm afraid of....

I've seen a bunch of videos about crossing the boarder, but they are all done by Americans who should always be allowed to enter their own country anyways. Being Canadian though, you're a foreigner in both countries, and it's OBVIOUS that a US agent knows what you're up to, hopping back and forth in Tijuana, they could actually fuck with you....especially if you're planning a 'secret and discreet' 2-3 night jaunt to the south.

Anyone got a link to where Canadians are not allowed to the USA on foot. The southern border is the friendest border I have ever encountered. I guess an agent can overlook the law and let you back in. But it's Playing Russian Roulette.

There’s one and it doesn’t single out Canadians or Mexicans, it just states that the land border crossings only welcome US citizens or those travelling for essential purposes.

Here’s an article about a Canadian being turned away by US border officials. I know the guards have a lot of discretion with regard to determining the legitimacy of non citizens being exempt from the rules for whichever reasons, but I wouldn’t expect or count on them just being nice.

That was a good article by Vice. Canada is pulling absolutely all the stops. Prison, fines up to 750k, lock up its own citizens for 2 weeks upon Return. Might as well tell all its citizens and the world, don’t even think about traveling here Or leaving for years to come Lmao. That’s just being a super nanny and I say fuck it it’s overboard. Lock up the healthy and sick, yeah what a life. Thank God, for Mexico, tourism is going to rebound enormously there this winter as it’s our only real escape.
