It recently came to my attention that you do not need a passport when driving across the border to Mexico.

And Cananda.

So I'm thinking about flying up to NY state.... and driving across.

Who's interested?

I am I love NY! It's only about 6 hours away from here.

You will need a passport to cross the borders starting in january i beleive.

And canadians don't need a passport to fly to America, we just need to have applied for one & show the app papers..

I've never been to NYC. I hear I'm close.

I travel a lot between Canada and the States both by car and by plane... And they will give you a hard time if you don't have your papers... Trust me!

Good luck though!

you do need a passport to go from canada to usa and back. not sure why anyone has any other idea on that. It does make things easier - sorry rochard

the US temporarily lifted it's restrictions for it's residents due to it's own inability to process passports fast enough. The new regs that stated passports would be mandatory for travel to Canada and Mexico scared enough people that they were reported to be receiving 300,000+ new applications per day. Not to mention all the people that were trying to get their applications in before the deadline for the new style passports came out - they now have RFID chips imbedded...

chips imbedded? wow.

thanks for updating me - but I have had a passporte now for years, its faster and easier to get through airport security. I wish they would let up on the "lets carry all out bathroom shit in a small plastic bag" routine they have
