I was going to Canada regularly in the early 2000s with just a drivers license, but I was travelling by car. Not sure what the flying regs were.

Yes, and if you cross at a spot that is not busy, prepared to be harassed. They get bored up there I guess.

You did not need a passport to go to Canada until June 1, 2009.

Yeah that's not true. Though it's probably different by land v by air.

Yes it is.

This thread is about driving into Canada.

It says it right in the title.

This!!!! I went through on a slow day and I guess since I was from the south they asked me 1000 times if I had a gun. I finally asked the bitch if their country was so fricking shitty that they didn't think Americans would visit.

My company at the time sent me up to northern New Hampshire for a few weeks to train some people. Colebrook NH to be exact. While off one I day I decided to take a drive around and ended up going into vermont. I found myself in Norton VT at the Canadian border. Went in with ease and had lunch in Coaticook Canada. Had a great lunch and a couple of beers. Drove back and talked to the us border officers for 10 minutes about my trip. Only had a Florida license. This was May 2008 or 2009.

Post above mentioned no DWI on your record. Sounds crazy, but it is apparently quite serious.

There was a thread about that issue on the travel board recently. It was news to me.

Yes or a passport card, but you might be able to get an expedited if you have documentation of your need for immediate travel- letter from an employer, funeral notice, etc.

Paper industry or hydroelectric? Other than tourism there isn't much up in Colebrook besides paper mills and hydro.
