Going to Canada?

Question

I want to go to Canda, and have a general question. I was not born in the United States, but my father is a naturalized citizen. My passport and my greencard have both expired recently, so i can't use those. I think my biological father being a citizen makes me a citizen (?), and was wondering if there was any way i could use that to prove my citizenship for crossing the border, via land.

Answer 1

If you are in the states, you can cross over to Canada with only a driver's licence or other photo ID right now. If you are flying, you WILL require a passport.

There is no way to get into Canada without proof of your citizenship and status, even if your father is a Canadian citizen. If that is the case, once you reach Canada you can go with him to a local government office and claim your citizenship by having him and yourself fill out the appropriate forms.

Answer 2

Good luck,I live 20 miles from the Boarder and can tell you that getting into Canada is much easier than getting back into the USA.You need a picture Id and a birth certificate.Your better off waiting till you get your papers in line again,they are very strict.

Answer 3

I'm afraid NOT !  You'll need to renew your documents before travelling.
