Crossing the Border

Crossing the border between Canada and the U.S. is straightforward. A little planning and the proper documentation will ensure a minimum of formality. In general, U.S. citizens and permanent residents need only carry a birth or baptismal certificate, voter's registration card or current U.S. driver's license. Please make sure that you have one of these forms of identification for each of the persons travelling with you, and especially your children. Naturalized citizens should be able to produce documents proving citizenship, and permanent alien residents should carry their green card.

Visitors from countries other than the U.S. must have a valid passport and in some cases an entry visa. Please check with the Canadian Consulate in your country of origin for information on visa requirements.
