If I'm VFR, do I need to file a VFR flight plan even though I'm not
landing in Canada?


You need to file a flight plan, not because you're crossing a border (as
others have said), but because Canadian regulations require all flights not
in the vicinity of an airport be on a flight plan. Also be careful if you're
flying high; in many parts of Canada, airspace above 12,500' is class B.

Nav Canada does not charge for overflights.

Since 9/11, you need to be talking to ATC and squawking a unique code when
you're crossing the border.
