Entry into Canada:
Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry proof of citizenship and identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. Children under 16 only need proof of U.S. citizenship.
Documents:
Visas
Check with the embassy of your destination regarding visa requirements. Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) or similar as needed.
Official Invite
When you travel to Canada make sure you have: your letter of introduction – Hobie Fishing Worlds Invite (just in case)
Flight Details
Return Flight Details needed, if asked at the border(s).
Safeguard Your Documents! Make copies of all your travel documents. Leave one copy with a trusted friend or relative and carry the other separately from your original documents. Also take a photograph of your travel documents with your phone to have an electronic copy.
Passport:
Check your passport expiration dates as soon as you start planning a trip, and remember passports issued to children under 16 are only valid for only five years. Some countries – including most of Europe – will require that your passport expiration date is at least six months away. If you need a new passport, apply early to allow for delays; click here for passport information.
Medications:
Some prescription drugs (including narcotics) and some U.S. over-the-counter medications are illegal in other countries. Check with the embassy of your destination(s) about regulations and documentation before you travel.
