Entering Canada - Customs and Immigration
Immigration Requirements
Whether you enter Canada by land, sea or air there are certain
formalities at the border. There are numerous seaports and international airports.
For those entering Canada from the U.S.A. by land, there are border crossings
spread right across the thousands of miles of frontier between the two countries.
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, or a certificate of citizenship or naturalization. Visitors
should also ensure that they are carrying a valid photo ID in addition to proof
of citizenship. 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 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.
If you intend to enter Canada to take up or obtain employment, attend an educational
institution or take up permanent residence, and are not a Canadian Citizen or
have current landed immigrant status - different regulations apply.
NOTE: Please consult your local Canadian Consulate before
planning your journey. The regulations and requirements for cross-border travel
are subject to change without notice.
