Answer 1

If you are crossing by car - you are not required to have a passport until next June. You need a birth certificate / ID

If you are flying by plane - you need a passport

Answer 2

if you are not canadian you need a passport were you were landed the country you originaly from also immagratin card and piece of id and credit card so you can pay to cross the border the officers there only acept credit cards and they will decide if you can go through if your canadian you have no problem you wont even have to go in to the border guards all you need is your birth cetificate and drivers license have fun shopping and injoy the entertainment lol

Answer 3

no you don't need a passport. just a valid ID and your birth certificate. my dad went from the US to canada a few months ago.

Answer 4

Yeah, you use to be able to get away with a birth certificate but now you need to have a passport I believe... I think the border control have cracked the whip on it!

But I think that might just be for flying... unless you're driving over.

But I think if you are driving through, you might not need one, just a birth certificate and a drivers license will do.

Answer 5

If your comming from canada, i dont believe so....

Answer 6

Answer 7

No passport required for land travel if you are flying by plane though absolutely. By land just photo id and birth certificate
