I know that going across the United States is trans-continental. Would it be the same for going across the American-Canadian border, or is "trans-continental" reseved for going from the east to the west and vice-versa? Is there even a word for it?

You are right. I would only use "trans-continental" to cross the continent in the east-west direction. (What an interesting concept! I never thought of it before.) Since you are crossing to another country, you could always use "international". Or simply "border", as in "border crossing".

I dont imagine they do. i'm German, yet I lived in London for a lengthy time period. in any case different day i develop into conversing to a chum of mine who's from American and that i stated the word snog and they bypass what the f*ck does that recommend. So i'm guessing they don't.

If it is north bound, it is called:
"Draft Dodging" or "Draft Evasion".
If it is south bound, it is called called:
"Seeking Timely Medical Attention".
