Do I need a passport to cross into the United States for a couple of days?

[Kara]

Are you a Canadian citizen or a perment resident??? If you are then you do not need a passport......yet!!

[peterm15]

ya i dont believe you need one... as long as your canadian... i dont think ive ever had a passport but ive only been to the us twice...

im pretty sure you dont... alot of ppl go shoping for a day in us and id hate to think having to get a pass port for that...

[ydnic]

I am C.B.B !

YEah - the last time I was out I didn`t need one but things have changed since then, I know they are very strick with the boarders now so I was just wondering...

[Lindze]

the 50 times i have been over the boarder over the past two years has been negitive, unless its changed since april, nope you dont.

I went over a month ago or so and they told me that although it isn't required, they strongly encourage you to have one with you. (though they didn't ask to actually see any form of ID.... )

Call your nearest boarder crossing and get the facts if you're unsure.

Since I dunno what the nature of your trip is or where you're staying or anything, the only reason I'm saying this is for by chance, or for future reference!

If you're staying at a hostel, (which in my opinion is the best way to travel), a LOT of them require you have a passport, even if you're just travelling within the states! So don't forget to double/triple check if you are staying in one =)
