The FARs require pilots to file and activate a flight plan for all flights crossing the U.S.–Canada border, including flights “with no landing”. Pilots must communicate with Air Traffic Services (ATS) at the time of the border crossing and squawk an assigned discrete transponder code

Flights from the U.S. to Canada must land at a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)-authorized airport of entry (AOE). A listing of AOEs may be found on the CBSA Web site. Designated AOEs are listed in the CFS and the CWAS.

ADCUS notifications on flight plans are no longer accepted. Pilots must make their own customs arrangements by calling the CBSA at least 2 hours, but not more than 48 hours, prior to their arrival in Canada. The CBSA must be notified of any changes to the estimated time of arrival (ETA) or point of arrival, or of any other changes.

All passengers on board the aircraft must have photo identification and proof of citizenship.

CANPASS is a program offered by the CBSA for private aircraft entry into Canada.

CANPASS is a series of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) programs that expedites the border clearance process for frequent, low-risk, pre-approved travellers into Canada.

Both you and your passenger must have valid passports to enter Canada.

You must then make a reservation for customs at your airport of entry in Canada and both you and the passenger must go through customs.

If you are flying a US Registered aircraft and land in Canada, you must purchase in advance a Canadian Radio License.

You have to file a flight plan with the country your flying into before they shoot you out of the sky.

And yes you have to go through Customs with a passport and all, it's just a few people at small airports that come and meet you at the plane.
