Traveling to Canada

In order to make your trip to Canada as smooth as possible we have provided the following links to information you might find useful.

Overview

For short term visits to Canada you will need a valid passport, unless you are an American citizen or permanent resident arriving from the U.S.A. in which case you must provide proof of citizenship or residency upon request. Proof of citizenship consists of a passport, original or certified copy of your U.S. birth certificate, current voter's registration card, U.S. military discharge papers, or certificate of citizenship or naturalization. If you are a permanent resident of the U.S.A., but not a U.S. citizen you must provide your 'green card' if requested. Persons under 18 years travelling without their parents should have indentification and a letter of authorization from a parent or guardian to travel into Canada.

For citizens of certain countries Canada requires a visitors visa to be obtained from their nearest Canadian Consulate before entry into Canada, please check if this is required before your trip. You should find this information by clicking on the 'Entry Requirements' link below. This information is subject to change.
