Question

Do you need a passport to travel from the united states to canada and back?

Answer 1

u should coz its a another country

Answer 2

Yes.

My father is a Canadian citizen, I'm American, and so is my mother.

We live in the U.S., and everytime we cross the border, they check our passports and question how long we will be in Canada for, who we are staying with there, and what the intentions of our trip are.

I assume if you're flying into the country, Canadian Customs will ask you all of the same questions, but they will not mark or stamp anything in your passport.

Good Luck =)

Answer 8

yes. my grandma just went up. if you are driving, on every highway there are booths where you show them your passport and they check your car for bombs. it takes about five minutes, but at some points in the year, the line can get up to two hours long. if you are flying, you go through customs as usual.
