I have been to Windsor, Canada 3 times. March and May of the latest. All I was required to bring was my birth certificate and my social security card. I was wondering if they changed the laws in the past 4 months where I cant brring those 2 things anymore and I need a passport only? I made reservatioins there already and I cannot get a passport within the next 3weeks. I looked on the Canadian Border Services Agency(CBSA) website and it states:
------When you enter Canada, a border services officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, when necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada; however, you should carry proof of your citizenship such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization or a Certificate of Indian Status, as well as a photo ID.
But at the bottom of the site it says last modified in December 2006. I also called the (CBSA) and the computerized recording states that a passport is required OR other acceptable forms of identification. My friends all tell me Starting in JULY 2007 they require ONLY PASSPORT to be able to enter. I tried talking to an OPERATOR at that number but was on hold 20 mins before i hung up. If anybody here could be of help id GREATLY appreciate it. I dont wanna drive 4 Hours from Chicago to get there to have to be sent back. Thank you.
