Nightingale 0 #4 May 5, 2004 Visitor Requirements: U.S. Residents Although a passport is the ideal identification, you do not require a passport or visa to enter Canada. Just make sure you carry identification to establish your citizenship such as a Birth Certificate and least one ID card with photo. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen, you should carry this certificate. Permanent residents of the U.S.A. must bring their "Green Card". Although it is rare, immigration officials may prevent the entry of visitors: who appear to pose a health risk. those they doubt will be able to support themselves and their dependents in Canada. whose willingness and means to return to the U.S. is in doubt. As well, those admissible to Canada must not have a criminal record. This includes any convictions for driving while intoxicated. If you have questions about your admissibility to enter Canada, contact your nearest Canadian Embassy or Consulate for consultation. Visitors from the U.S. who are not American Citizens Permanent residents of the United States (anyone with a Green Card) do not need to carry a passport or travel documents to enter Canada. Temporary residents of the United States (anyone who carries a Temporary Resident Card, Form 1-688, or Employment Authorization Card, 1-688A or 1-688B) must carry a passport and may also require a visa depending on their country of citizenship Citizens of other countries who wish to enter Canada through the United States must also carry a valid passport and may require a visa, which they should obtain from a Canadian Embassy or Consulate outside Canada. Those in this category should check with an office of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service before they enter Canada. Visitor Requirements: Travellers from Other Countries International travellers may require a visa to enter or transit Canada. To see whether you require a visa, visit the Canada site for more information on visa requirements. International travellers who wish to find out about Canadian customs regulations should visit the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency website. Entry into Canada for Foreign Nationals with Criminal Convictions or Equivalent As of June 28, 2002, the implementation of the new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act changed the rules affecting the admissibility into Canada of foreign nationals who have criminal convictions in Canada or abroad or who have committed criminal acts outside Canada. These include offences that are considered criminal in Canada, such as driving while under the influence of a substance such as alcohol, even if the offence was not considered a felony or criminal offence in the country where it was committed. For more information about these very important changes, download this Fact Sheet. Travellers Bringing Children Travellers visiting Canada with children should carry the following: identification for each child similar to identification described for adults. a letter of permission from the parents of any children accompanying them for whom they do not have legal custody Please note: Divorced parents with shared custody rights should carry legal documents establishing their status. Unaccompanied children should carry a letter of permission from their parents or a legal guardian. Studying or Working in Canada: If you are planning to study or work in Canada, contact the nearest Canadian Embassy or Consulate for a copy of the brochure called Entering Canada to Study or Work. http://www.travelcanada.ca/tc_redesign/app/en/us/travelArticle.do?catId=51 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mailin 0 #7 May 5, 2004 I travel to Canada at least half a dozen times a year. I think alot of depends on which 'entry/exit point' you use. I travel through Vermont and the border guards ask for my license and then ask me where I'm going and how long I'll be there. The entire stop is less than 1 minute - really. On the way back they ask for my license and ask me where I live. They have inspected my car with both flashlights and dogs, even the under carriage! But they've never asked for more than a license for identification. That has taken as much as 5 minutes before, but thats very rare. Best of luck, have fun!

OmriMon 0 #10 May 5, 2004 my friend dana and i crossed the michigan-windsor boarder together. it was one hell of a trip but put that aside, my buddy didn't have any sort of picture ID with him, all he had was his social security card and 3 bags full of paper work and letters and all kinds of shit, so to make a long story short, they let him in after all the bullshit we went through. so I guess a picture ID would do just fine.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #14 May 6, 2004 ... to have rocks in your head. A woman I work with has an American daughter with a Canadian boyfriend. They were caravaning up to Canada (each in a vehicle) and while HE was allowed to pass into Canada, SHE was detained and forced to provide some sort of proof of economic stability or some shit (although she's always been allowed to FLY in no problem) and in the end, they confiscated some documents and shredded them, and refused her entry into Canada. On the whole, the impression I got from her mother is that Canadian customs treated her like fuckin' shit. She had to stay in a hotel, at her own expense, and the boyfriend had to FLY down to NY and meet her with documents she needed, and accompany her back to Canada on a commercial flight. All told they have incurred hundreds if not thousands of dollars in extra expenses, and are planning to hire an immigration lawyer to seek compensation for the needless hassle from the Canadian government. To think, the only cow ever found in the U.S. with Mad Cow disease came from Canada, which is also known to have harbored terrorist agents and made it easy for them to get into th country (according to what was reported shortly after 9/11/01). And the Canadian people, who hate their value-added-tax, sneak over and buy clothes from OUR stores. Do we give them shit about coming HERE? Nope. (My dad heard a report that outside malls near the border, lots of old discarded crappy clothes are found. The Canadians come here in rags, buy new spiffy clothes, and go back to their home country wearing the new clothes and don't declare them for customs duties. Cute, huh?) Don't go to Canada. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gee, that's a laugh riot for me. See, in 1986, the fucking piece of shit drunk who hit my brother while driving the wrong way down a divided highway was a Canadian. My brother was spared serious injury, not for lack of the Canuck's trying. He walked, by the way. The fucker was not charged. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
