When FIRST talked about the Toronto Regional during the FIRST Forum, they seemed pretty sure that it would happen. They also warned that getting a team and equipment across the border would not be trivial. We would definitely need all the appropriate paperwork (birth certificates, soc. security cards, export licenses, etc.) for the people, tools, and robot.

According to David Brown (FIRST Executive Director) at the Team Forum, about the Toronto regional, he said "I'll believe it when I see it." That's not exactly pretty sure about it.
As far as going to Canada with a robotics team goes, I would suggest getting in touch with team 378 Delphi & Newfane as they travel from the Buffalo, NY area to the Great Lakes Regional via Canada. They should know a bit about the logistics of customs with all the various things.
We'll consider going to the Toronto regional given it's only about a 3 hour drive for us but I don't think the money will be there.
