Travel within Canada

For passengers over the age of 16 years, a valid government issued picture ID is required, i.e. driver's license, health card etc. For travelers less than 16 years of age, an original birth certificate or non-government issued ID i.e. student card is suggested but not mandatory at this time.

To travel as a visitor from/to Canada, to/from the USA, a valid passport is the preferred document but for a Canadian or US citizen an original birth certificate or a citizenship card/certificate plus a valid government issued picture ID are also accepted.

Landed immigrants in Canada from Commonwealth countries seeking to enter the United States as non-immigrants must possess a valid passport and non-immigrant visa in order to enter.

As of December 31, 2003, permanent residents from a non visa- waiver country who are returning to Canada will be required to provide the wallet-sized plastic Permanent Resident Card or a visa to re-enter Canada as the IMM1000 Record of Landing will no longer be acceptable. Without a valid PR Card or visa these passengers will not be permitted to board the aircraft and will need to contact the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate to obtain a limited use travel document to re-enter.

A valid passport is required to travel to foreign countries for ALL travelers including children. Some countries may even require a visa. To find out what the entry requirements are, please contact the local consulate/Embassy of the country.
