Notice to US Visitors
PASSPORTS ARE NOW REQUIRED FOR AIR ENTRY TO THE UNITED STATES
Although passports and visas are not required for entry into Canada passports are required for air entry and air re-entry into the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security changed official requirements as of January 23, 2007 for citizens of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda to present a passport to enter or re-enter the United States when arriving from any part of the Western Hemisphere by air.
The new requirements are as follows:
Travellers arriving by air will be required to show a valid passport, air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document for entry or re-entry to the U.S. as of January 23, 2007
As early as January 1, 2008 and no later than June 1, 2009. Everyone travelling between the United States and Canada, Mexico, South America, the Caribbean, and Bermida by land or sea (including cruises and ferries) may be required to show a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security.
For more information on the new requirements or on how to apply for a U.S. passport, please visit the US Department of State website.
