Bring your drivers license if you have one, Passport works too, if you are driving in, leave your radar detector at home, the same goes for your long guns unless you have proof you're going hunting and that can be verified by the lodge you will be staying at.
Never say you are going up for business, don't hint that you are going to stay there for good, nor have all your clothes and possessions with you.
On the flip side, if you are visiting friends, keep their names out of it, tell them you are just visiting the country for a few days. Ask them for information on getting your GST (Goods and Services Tax) back when you come back to the states.
Like every other border crossings, just look the agent straight in the eyes, and tell more or less the truth. Know that when you are coming and going your plates and ID are getting run through any number of databases.
I actually think coming back into the U.S. from Canada is more of a pain in the ass than leaving.
