I found that food basics prices have been pretty good compared to no frills and that dollarama plus has better quality items and toys than family dollar.

The prices over there are decent, but not on the Jewish products.

Yes they have a selection but value not so much.
I mean that no product in the store went for more than a dollar.

More than a dollar? They have plenty of higher priced items. 4 or 5...

US brands, smaller market, and often imported to Canada.

Anyone use a photocopy of their child's US Birth Certificate to enter Canada?

Yes. 100% ok for land entry. Air requires passport.

[Alexsei]

Yes. 100% ok.

if you want to throw 100% ok numbers at least share official backing. otherwise just because it works for most people it isn't 100%
