What kind of papers does a Canadian living in USA need to travel to Canada and back to USA?

Answer 1

Currently you must have photographic ID. If you do not have a passport, you should carry a certified copy of your birth certificate. Within the next few years, you will be required to have a passport.

== I grew up in Buffalo, NY and used to go to Canada a few times a year. We never needed anything more than a drivers license or another form of picture ID, and they rarley asked for that. The drill went: Border Patrol: Citizenship? Us: U.S Them: Reason for visiting Canada? Us: Beach/Casino/shopping (you get the point) Them: Are you bringing anything into Canada? Us: We have a cooler for the beach. (we never claimned purses or little bags) Them: Enjoy your stay. Coming back is a little tougher, US patrol might ask you to pop the trunk or ask for ID. And if you've been there for more then a day they will ask what you brought back with you, you'll have to pay a tax on it. Just be very nice, turn your radio down, do not give rude answers, and dont lie. If you bought something claim it, if you have luggage in the trunk say so! I know a guy who was asked "Where were you born?" at the border, he answered "In a hospital" They had his entire car taken apart ( I mean wheels off, engine out, doors off)less then two hours later, tossed him the keys and said "You're free to go!" Just because he was a jerk.

* Important: In accordance with government regulations, Air Canada will now be checking photo IDs at the departure gate for all passengers who appear to be 18 years of age or older. The name on the ID must match the name used on the reservation or ticket. * Under a temporary exemption to the Passenger Protect program, passengers who appear to be 17 years of age or younger are not required to produce photo ID when travelling within Canada. If they do not produce identification, they will be asked to confirm their name, date of birth and gender. This exemption is in place until September 30, 2008. * For travellers younger than 12, an original birth certificate or non-government issued ID, i.e. a student card is suggested--but not mandatory--at this time. * For more information: Passenger Protect website. * Travelling with kids:

** Adults traveling with minor children are advised to be holding a letter of travel consent signed by the parent(s) or guardian(s) with legal custody. The letter must include the signor's address and phone details. Although this letter of travel consent does not have to be notarized for a child travelling within Canada , it is still recommended that this letter be notarized. ** If a parent/guardian is divorced or deceased, custody document or death certificate is required. * No specific guidelines for PR for domestic travel

If you are a landed immigrant with a Greencard, be sure to have that along with your passport. You may also require licenses and permits from the ATF if you plan to bring firearms, along with the appropriate RCMP permits. For animals you'll need vet records of shots.

If you are a legal resident on a work visa, student-visa, religious workers vise, etc... have that along with passport, drivers license, and birth certificate never hurts.

WARNING: Be extremely careful about leaving the country after you have filed for a CHANGE OF STATUS. ie: change from temporary visa to green card. Leaving the country may jeopardize your case, causing it to be thrown out.
