Citizens or permanent residents of the United States can usually cross the
border without difficulty or delay. However, both Canada and U.S.
Immigration required certain types of identification.
For native-born Americans and/or U.S. citizens, Canadian Immigration
requires either a passport or a birth certificate, supported by two pieces
of photo I.D. For return entry, U.S. Immigration officials also suggest that
you have one of these items with you, in addition to your normal
identification.
A permanent resident of the US who is not a citizen is required to possess a
1551 or 1151 form (The Green Card) by both U.S. and Canadian Immigration.
Citizens or permanent residents of other countries must have a valid
passport and/or a valid visitor visa and should contact their local Canadian
Embassy/Consulate or High Commission Office for further qualification.
If you require more information, please feel free to contact your local
Canadian Embassy or Consulate office, or visit the following web-site:
