hello, does anyone know the current border policies for entry into Canada? I was hoping to attend the 2002 Mutek fest but I don't have a valid US passport (never have). I'm concerned that if I chance it, I'll be denied entry into Canada (or hassled upon returning the US) after already paying for the flight, or that I won't be able to get a passport in enough time before the event. Has anyone traveled back and forth recently? I assume that post 9-11-01 it's a much more stringent policy.... thanks in advance matt _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I'm fairly certain that "regular" ID, like a birth certificate and a driver's license, is perfectly valid for crossing the Canada-U.S. border, even post 9-11. But to be 100% positive, you should contact your nearest Canadian Embassy or Consulate to confirm.

A driver's license will work for most situations, but a birth certificate is recommended if you want to get back into the US without a lot of hassle. A passport's your best bet, as usual. Why don't you have one? :P And air travel is usually less stringent than crossing via car, ironically, because they only want you to not do things *in the plane*. After you land, it's just "ok, how long you staying, don't do anything bad, blah blah." Usually, if you cause a problem, it'll just get you delayed. The canada border is pretty friendly, and it's rare that they ever turn someone away outright. derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- with lather thingy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
