Recommended Posts

What does everyone think of this since there dollar is going up in value vs. the US dollar, also correct me if I am wrong but wont you be required to have a passport to go to Canada by this time next year.

Ya but three years ago the American dollar was worth more than the Canadian and you didn’t need a passport to get there. And if you don’t already have a passport you will have to add another 100 dollars (if your above 16) to the expenses per a person to get there.

Not true, usually a birth certificate and or social security card would get you over the border. NOW you need to have a passport, especially by the time NARCh Finals come around you'll need to have one.

i'll attest to that. We passed through canada to get to New York for TORHS nationals, and we sat for 2 hours because one of our players did NOT have a passport.

Like I said NOW you have to have one. But back in the day and before the last year-year and a half you never needed a passport.

This year, the finals are about 15 minutes from where I live. It was nice not having to travel very far, but I guess that'll change next year.

You only need a passport to get into the states/Canada if you're going by air. Land or sea only requires you to have a valid state issued ID and preferrably a certified birth certificate with raised seal. No passport required to enter Canada same rules as for reentering the US.

I've been to Canada numerous times this year back and forth and havent been stopped, turned back, or searched yet while awaiting my passport.

Of course things could change between now and then.

As for NARCH being in Toronto, I think it's great. Gives me a vacation with the Canadian side of the family.

Land travel is changing to passport, NEXUS card or the new Passport Card in Summer 2009.

The Passport Card is geared towards those who live in border communities and can't be used for air travel. The NEXUS card is used by people who live in one country and work in the other. I got harassed because I ended up in the NEXUS lane one time going to Windsor.
