Booche Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Dont listen to Elemeno because you might not get in. Land and water ports of entry(Effective June 1, 2009)Canadian citizens are required to present one of the following valid WHTI-compliant documents when entering the United States by land or water:a passport; a NEXUS card; a Free and Secure Trade (FAST) card; an enhanced driver's licence (EDL) or enhanced identification card (EIC) from a province where a U.S.-approved EDL/EIC program has been implemented; or a Secure Certificate of Indian Status (when this certificate is available and approved by the United States). In the interim, the current Certificate of Indian Status is an acceptable document to present when entering the United States by land or water.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry about your shituation. I sent you an email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry Booche but you are incorrect. You can still get through with a regular licence. They are allowing a grace period so all the lazies can get their acts together. They will grill you to no end and may pull you in for a search, but it is worth the minor inconveience to make your vacation happen. I crossed with a friend in July in the same situation so I know first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yep, grace period'd. You should get across with a driver's license and birth certificate but the border guard will tell you to get your passport and not to try it again without.
