 | If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to
enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a
birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as
a photo ID. If you are a permanent resident of the U.S, you should bring
your Permanent Resident Card (i.e., green card) with you. |
| Effective January 31, 2008 - Oral declarations will no longer be
accepted from U.S., Canadian or Bermudian travelers seeking to enter the
U.S. by sea and/or land. Travelers will need to present a valid
government issued ID and a birth certificate, naturalization certificate or
baptismal record. |
| If you are traveling with children, you should carry identification for
each child. Divorced parents who share custody of their children should
carry copies of the legal custody documents. Adults who are not parents or
guardians should have written permission from the parents or guardians to
supervise the children. When traveling with a group of vehicles, parents or
guardians should travel in the same vehicle as the children when arriving at
the border. |
| Dogs and cats from the U.S. that are at least three months old need signed
and dated certificates from a veterinarian verifying that they have been
vaccinated against rabies within the last three years. The certificate must
clearly identify the animal. If your dogs or cats are less than three months
old, you do not need a certificate of rabies vaccination to enter Canada.
However, the animals must be in good health when they arrive. |

| A U.S. citizen should have either a valid U.S. Passport OR an extended
driver's license which includes passport information. |

| Adults traveling in or out of the U.S. with children under the age of 18
should be aware of the following: because of increasing incidents of child
abductions in disputed custody cases and as possible victims of child
pornography, Customs and Border Protection strongly recommends that unless
the child is accompanied by both parents, the adult have a note from the
child's other parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with
grandparents, uncles or aunts, sisters or brothers, or friends, a note
signed by both parents) stating "I acknowledge that my
wife/husband/etc. is traveling out of the country with my son/daughter.
He/She/They has my permission to do so." |
| While a rabies certificate is not required for entry into the U.S.,
domestic cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans
when examined by an inspector at the port of entry. If the animal is not in
apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be
required at the owner's expense. If you are bringing your cat to the U.S. on
an airplane, you should check with the airline about their requirements for
transporting animals. Many airlines require a certificate of health from a
veterinarian. |
