Technically you can still come in with your driver's lisence and birth certificate, assuming you are a US born citizen. It's just that a passport is the best travel document.ann said:i am in the US. and don't have a passport, i didn't know you needed one for canada.
For you, there would be no paperwork, assuming you are a US born citizen. Just bring your Conference receipt and maybe some print outs about the conference. You won't have to show any of this unless you are asked. As Les and others said, the questioning shouldn't last more than 2-3 minutes.I didn't mean to say the people were not friendly, it just seems a bit overwhelming bit of paper work to bring in cameras and film.
I had a colleague from North Carolina who had lost his ID when he was visiting Toronto. I happened to be on the same plane as him going to North Carolina. So I went with him to airport together and watched him as he went to the US Immigration Officer.David A.

ann said:thanks for the updates.
i had a passport, but as i h ave not been out of the country for a few years, i did not have it renewed, (Porta rico) doesn't count (lol).
am thinking about coming but just felt overwelmed at all that verbiage.
and i am a us citizen with an accent (according to some).
Other way round unfortunately. Canada wanted to join the Turks and Caicos but didn't qualify.doughowk said:Thanks for the link. My mother was a Canadian citizen so I should have relative ease in emigrating. Whatever has become of the island in the Caribbean that wanted to join Canada? Sure would make it easier on those such as I who have become acclimated to warm weather.

I sat in the back of my cousins car at the US/Canadian border he showed his canadian drivers licence and we just got waved through. No check on his canadian wife or myself, EEC citizen sat in the back.
However going the other way (into the US) as a non US citizen is unreal, the questioning is aggressive, offensive and quite frankly intimadating, but there's obviously wel thought out methodology in the fast barrage of questions, which are designed to trip up those not entering the country for genuine business or holiday reasons.
Going to any country is no problem as long as you can articulate why your going and when your returning

roteague said:Ann,
With recent changes at US border crossings, I would suggest that you get your passport updated, and take it with you. While Canada doesn't require one, it will make your re-entry into the US much easier.
