What to Bring
Passports:
At present, American citizens and permanent residents of the United States do not need a passport to visit Canada, but should carry a birth, baptismal or voter's certificate, or other documents establishing their citizenship. Naturalized U.S. citizens should carry evidence of citizenship, such as a naturalization certificate. Visitors from other countries must have valid national passports, and visitors from certain countries also require a visa. For a list of visa-exempt countries, go to www.canadainternational.gc.ca.
As of Jan. 8, 2007, a U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident re-entering the United States by air following a visit to Canada must carry a valid U.S. passport or other secure travel documents, such as a NEXUS Air card when used at a NEXUS Air kiosk. Effective June, 2009, this requirement will be extended to re-entry to the U.S. by land and sea, as well.
