I'm Canadian, and yes, it's adviseable to not only have your passport, but birth certificate and anyone else who is traveling with you (including children) should as well. We have to do the same thing going across to the States and it doesn't really bother us at all. Legally you can cross into Canada from the US with just proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization papers. A passport will be required for all US citizens after Dec. 31, 2007. You should also have proof of US citizenship for all children, and written permission if they are not accompanied by both parents. A driver's license and social security card or other picture ID is NOT proof of citizenship. By all means, if you have a passport, take it.

== == No, not currently. I live in Detroit, and to cross into Canada, you MUST have a original US birth certificate AND a photo Drivers License. However, there is legislation that takes effect in June 2009 , that will make a US passport mandatory for travel to Canada., AND to get back INTO the USA. Jim B In Toronto.

As of January 2007, Canadians flying into the USA require passports. Starting January 2008, you need a passport to travel by car, train or bus as well. Commercial truck drivers driving commercial motor vehicles can use their commercial drivers' licenses in lieu of passports. Everyone else needs one.

Yes, you need them during crossing the border. It is the best document to present so that you have a proof of your identity and citizenship. You also need it very much when you decide to travel by air.
