What Canada may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

Valid passport for duration of stay
Return or onward ticket from Canada
Sufficient funds (CAD 1,000+ per month of stay)
Travel and health insurance recommended
Letter of invitation if visiting family or friends
Clean criminal record and good health
