No Passport? It’s Time.

It wasn’t long ago that Canadians could travel to the United States freely without a passport.  Those with modest travel plans who never expected to venture beyond North Amerca had no real need for one.   Well, those times are over.

A couple of years ago, the U.S. started to require passports for Canadians arriving by air, and as of June 1 2009 they will be required for all methods of entry, including by car.   More info HERE.

The fact is that your Canadian passport is the best document to prove your Canadian citizenship and your right to return to Canada. If you don’t have a passport or yours expires in the next 6 months, then it’s time to apply.  All the info you need to get a passport is provided by Passport Canada.
