Passports are required for US Citizens! For travel to Canada, US citizens MUST have a valid passport for proof of US citizenship. Non US citizens should check with their country’s consulate for travel document requirements.
For more information see the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative site for travel compliancy requirements and helpful information at http://www.getyouhome.gov/html/lang_eng/index.html.
Although it is rare, immigration officials may prevent the entry of visitors:
Who appear to pose a health risk.
Those they doubt will be able to support themselves and their dependents in Canada.
Whose willingness and means to return to the U.S. is in doubt.
As well, those admissible to Canada must not have a criminal record. This includes any convictions for driving while intoxicated.
If you have questions about your admissibility to enter Canada, contact your nearest Canadian Embassy or Consulate for consultation.
