peace arch park with a single entry visa

You could park in the lot in the State park and your friend could walk from there. (NB: This was in approximately 2010 or 2011, so not particularly recent). Not exactly the same situation, but cross-border pedestrian traffic does happen. I have gone on foot across the border in the other direction at Peace Arch as a Canadian (in the park and went to Blaine for food), and then returned to Canada to leave the park and head home. But let’s ignore that option for the sake of this Question.

I am aware of the Cascades train service by Amtrak. If that works and Canada allows entry, what are the transportation options on the Canada side for my friend headed to downtown Vancouver BC? Public transit such as bus, light rail, heavy rail? Private bus company (equivalent of Greyhound in the US)? Taxi? Uber/ Lyft? My friend has more time than money, and is hale and hearty. If Canada refuses entry, can I easily retrieve my friend after coordinating by cell phone?

Will the Canada border guards have a problem with someone arriving on foot? (Assume they would have no problem if having driven through: valid passport in hand, no criminal record, cash in pocket, hotel reservations, history of previous visits, etc.) I would like to drive my friend (US citizen) in Washington State US to the Peace Arch coastal border crossing between Blaine US and Surrey CA, to visit Vancouver BC for a few days.Ĭan I drop the friend off there, to cross the border on foot, without me dealing with the border control guards of either country?
