Surprisingly, no. Unlike the Mexican-USA border, which is heavily militarized and crawling with soldiers (and fraught with danger), there is no border patrol, much less a fence, on the Canadian line.
Canada and the United States actually hold a joint world-record.
They share the largest demilitarized border on the earth.
The name means exactly what you would think it means: there are few to no border patrol on the Canada-USA line. That means that crossing the Canadian-United States border is as simple as walking, without soldiers or police stopping and asking for an ID at the international boundary.
However, this does not mean you should walk into Canada (or vice-versa) without a legal visa. Once you reach a town or pass a police car, you'll be asked to show one.
According to Wikipedia, this near-total lack of border patrol was established by the "Rush-Bagot Treaty", initially designed to demilitarize (remove army protection from) the Great Lakes. It laid the foundation for the eventual demilitarization of the entire border.
