Vacation New York State

driving from New york state to vancouver?

Taking a month long vacation and I am driving form Syracuse,NY to vancouver,BC I have driven across the country many times and it has been wonderful. I plan on driving to washington and going up to vancouver from there. How much trouble do you think I will have at the border getting into vancouver having NY license plates way out in washington. Really I have no plans or destinations to tell the border patrol exept i’m on vacation and I want to go to vancouver. I have a passport etc… and I will be bringing my dog which I have the rabies certificate and all records for. I know there is no way to know for sure but I was wondering if anyone thinks they will give me trouble for being 3000 miles form home with no real reason lol. I wanted to stay in BC for 2 days or so then start the slow drive home. Thanks in advance for any advice/opinions and tips.

They won’t give you any trouble because you’re from New York. Having a passport is a very good thing.

Re the dog:

Domestic or pet dogs may enter Canada if accompanied by an original valid rabies vaccination certificate, which is issued by a licensed veterinarian, in either English or French and which clearly identifies the dogs and states that they are currently vaccinated against rabies.

This certificate should identify the animal as in breed, colour, weight, etc., and indicate the name of the licensed rabies vaccine used (trade name), including serial number and duration of validity (up to three years). Please note that if the duration of validity is not indicated on the certificate, the vaccine will be considered to be valid for one year.
