Canada Immigration Visas

Last day to fly without passport

OTTAWA - Thousands of Canadians plan to fly to the United States on Tuesday, but a few of those travellers won’t make it past the airport check-in. New passport rules are about to kick in that require Canadians to carry a passport if they’re flying to the U.S. Despite their best efforts, airlines expect they will have to turn away some forgetful people who don’t have the right documentation.
Traditionally Canadians have been the only nationality allowed to enter the United States without anything but, a birth certificate and driver’s license. Now however, due to the realities of a post 9-11 era and a harmonization of security and travel initiatives within North America, Canadians will now have to start presenting passports when flying into the United States.
