American's who visited Canada POLL

[Bizarro Amy]

I went to Niagra Falls when I was a kid. You didn't need passports back then. You just stopped at the border, and an officer would ask what was your reason for being there. Then he'd wave you through and tell you to have a nice time. On the way out, he'd ask if you made any major purchases while in Canada. My dad said that we just got some souvenirs, and the officer waved us through again.

You now need either a passport, enhanced drivers licence (that shows your citizenship, I'm not sure how many states and provinces actually have these yet) or a trusted traveller card like NEXUS (the card shows your citizenship and you have to have background checks done to get one). Mind you, you don't need these to enter Canada, but rather to return to the US, including US citizens. But technically, this is a "soft enforcement" right now. Constitutionally, the US couldn't deny a US citizen entry into their country, but if you don't have any of the above documents, be prepared to sit in the immigration office for some time until they can prove you are who you say.

Good to know, thank you bro

I've been to Montreal 4 times. Canada is the only country outside of the US I have been to.

I've never been there but always wanted to

quick question Mike, do you need a passport to cross the border or comeback? or could you just do it with an ID or something, sorry I know this may be a stupid ?

I've only been to New Brunswick....but I would really like to see Niagara Falls though.

That's pretty good, I live in Canada and am ashamed to admit that Ontario is the only province I've ever been in. I've been to tons of states in the US though. Go figure.

The tourist thread inspired this one ...
Non-American's are very welcomed to reply as well

America shares the WORLD'S LONGEST common border with Canada which is 5,525 miles long - so it's only natural to think many American's regularly visit Canada.

My poll is .....
If you've been to Canada, name the provinces and/or territories you were in.

Mine is ...

Manitoba
Ontario
Quebec
New Brunswick
Nova Scotia
Prince Edward Island
