Border Crossing

 

 

 

AS OF JUNE 1, 2009 ALL TRAVELERS TO CANADA NEED A PASSPORT TO RETURN TO U.S.A.
(Children 15 & under crossing by vehicle need only an original birth certificate)

An inexpensive passport card is now available for those only wanting to only drive to Canada.

For centuries the U.S. / Canada border has been the longest friendly border in the world. Because these two great allies have such a long history, many American’s treat the border like crossing a state line. In the years post 9/11 entering and returning from Canada has changed. Terrorism is a real threat and that threat is taken seriously. The U.S. government requires passports to enter the United States.
