    Last time I was in Canada, was 1970 and I went from V. Island to Montreal. Had a great time and loved the summer trip. NOW--do I need a passport to cross the border into Canada, or just ID and money? Thanks---------Joel

    I didn't need when driving into mexico or back into the US.. you should be fine going to canada with just a drivers license. But dont try and smuggle people in through your trunk ;p

    As of 2009, everyone crossing the border from the us into canada by land or sea is required to have either a passport or a WHTI compliant document. You could get a passport card instead of a passport.

    In washington and new york state you can get an enhanced driver's license.

    Every border state should offer EDL's but they don't. Vermont does but New Hampshire and Maine do not [​IMG]

    I hear Canada has a boring kinda music scene because a lot of bands aren't allowed in from probation members. :D

    last time i was in canada was 2003. they didn't check anything; i probably could have brought a small nuclear weapon with me if i had wanted to. of course, getting back into the US was a bitch. i think i was pretty close to just becoming a lifelong canadian resident.

    last i heard, you need a passport now.

    I went to see my cousin in Michigan and we were going to go to canada. On their DL they have a option not to need a passport. The guy told me tuff shit. This was in 2011. Maybe I got an asshole or just the shit hole state itself. To avoid any problems and enjoy you're trip, I'd look into getting one.
