Can someone tell how does the immigration procedure work in Victoria?
I plan to take the Clipper Ferry from Seattle and wondering where the actual immigration inspection takes place. Do they stamp the passport?

Thanks

They will only stamp your passport if you ask them to, that is if you are a US citizen. As a US citizen, you don't need a passport when traveling by boat from the US to Canada, so you can also use your drivers license and birth certificate as ID. If you are not American, then you don't have a choice of ID obviously, it will be your Passport and you may have to request a stamp. Customs only takes 20-30 minutes or so when coming in VIA the clipper. You will have a great time, I just did this trip last summer, and the clipper was even fun!!
