I've been spending six months every winter in the Villages, starting in 2007. I've never had a problem obtaining prescription Meds for six months in Canada, and I've never been asked at a border crossing whether I'm importing Meds.

We obtained Nexus cards last year, which makes entry into the US even faster.
