Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / March 2006Visiting Canada this summer.
Hello folks, We plan to visit Canada this summer. I do not have my US passport yet. What is alternatively requirements like documents to show proofs? How about a proof of birth cerficiation and driver's license (or photo ID card)? Please let me know about that as soon as possible. Thanks! Tim Hi: As far as I know, new rules won't be in effect yet so a birth certificate with a photo ID should be ok if you are a US citizen. HAve a good trip. > Hello folks, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks! > Tim birth certificate or photo ID shouldn't be a problem, however it's getting back INTO the US that may be a problem. The States are alot stricter and you may find yourself stuck in Canada if you don't have the proper documents. Contact the border crossing directly to see what you need.

I don't recall the start date but the US will be requiring a passport to renter the US. Whenever i go into Canada I and my whole family uses the passports it speeds the process up Cautionary tale. A writer for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote recently about her experience returning to the US from Canada. her passport had expired, and she had applied for a new one but had not yet received it. She did have a birth certificate, however....from Iran. Her bottom line: Wait until you have the new passport in your hands before leaving the US.

Your comment about not having your U.S. passport sounds like possibly you have one from another country. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you need to find out what the rules are for entering Canada and returning to the U.S. as a citizen of your particular country. Check with the relevant consulate, and also the U.S. and Canadian immigration agency websites. Patty |
