Answer 3

Someone JUST asked this question a few hours ago.  Please take a look at the questions already answered before posting new questions.  Yes, you do need a passport when you enter and when you leave Canada.

(I stand corrected, I apologize for the misinformation, and I just have to mention to New York State of Mind that I'm not the one threatening to kill myself and looking for pity on yahoo answers...)

Answer 4

I live 30 mins from Ontario and you do not need a passport to enter.  Not at this time, just photo ID.

I've read a lot of Cee Lyn's answer's.  She think she know's everything, but she doesn't.  

Answer 5

Passports will not be needed for land travel between the U.S and Canada until June 1, 2009.  Now, you need a photo I.D. and birth certificate.  see site below to read the law for yourself.

Answer 6
