Answer 1

Yes, you should be concerned.  It is a requirement that she have a passport to fly.  

Answer 2

Yes, you should be concerned.  If she is flying she definitely needs a passport.

Answer 3

as long as she is a canadian citizen you have nothing to worry about.  

Answer 4

Explain the problem to the airline and the the security in Canada. Good luck tomorrow.

Answer 5

No problem. Just make sure your niece has a birth certificate with her. It is best if the birth certificate is the original one with the seal on it. She will need a passport next year though.

Answer 6

Yes, you should be worried !

The "Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative" has introduced passport requirements for all citizens (including US and Canadian) for travel in an out of the United States by air. Under the new regulations, either a passport or an alternative "Trusted Traveler Program Card" (e.g. Nexus) must be shown. If you niece has neither a passport nor such a car, she will not even be allowed to board the plane.

These regulationhs were introduced at the begining of 2007 for air travel, so I very much doubt Homeland Security is going to make a exception for your niece, especially as she is not a US citizen.

Answer 7

Yes...You can not fly without a passport.

Answer 8

Uhm yes you should Def. be concerned....You can NOT fly into Canada without a passport
