Passport for entering Canada from US?
« on: July 08, 2004, 08:01:50 PM »
A friend of mine said that a passport is now required to enter Canada from the US.  I found that kind of hard to believe, but with 9/11 and all...  Anyone know if this is the case?

Looks like the snowmobile trip ends at the border now.

It's easy to get around.  Just enter from Syria and say you're a political refugee.

Same thing here... you now need a passport to enter the states.

I liked it the old way... but...

Well, that seems kinda stupid given the number of places you can cross that have no guard stations.  Oh well, looks like passport or birth cert...

I am not sure that it is true...one of my good friends who lives down the road from me has family in Virginia and San Diego. He has visited both in the past 6 months and I asked if border crossing was a problem and he replied no. He flew to San Diego and drove to Virginia.
As it turns out some family members of his are arriving this evening from the US to visit him. I will ask if they had to produce a passport at the border.
Hopefully the answer will be no.

Actually I might have mispoken... I haven't driven over the border since 9/11. But flying there now requires a passport where before it didn't. Not sure actually if it's the same with driving.

You do not need a passport but you do need proof of birth and a couple of more pieces of ID like a drivers license and some other photo ID.

But that is only if they ask to see it. Most times they just ask you where you are from where you are going and for how long and then wave you in.

They rarely ask to see any ID, just look like a tourist and say you're hitting a Casino.
