Hey guys. Question for the group.

We are going to Canada this summer and are running into a snag with passports taking forever. We have ours but our kids haven't come in.

I read that if you're 16 and under you only need birth certificate or copy to go to Canada and return to the States.

Can anyone please confirm?

Pretty sure if you're flying, you will all need passports. If you're crossing by land or sea, they can use certified copies of their birth certificates if under 16 to return.

Are you travelling under one of the listed exemptions?
Workers, Students, and Visitors

Travel Exemptions and Restrictions

Or do you hope the border will be open again to US visitors for recreational purposes? I'm watching this as I hoped to drive to Canada this summer but I'm not counting on it.

I'd be very surprised if the border opens and if it does, I would bet both the US and Canada require a 14 day quarantine.

I don’t know any particulars of the current situation at the US/Canada Border but as a general rule, let me paraphrase a Canadian comic (who’s name escapes me now):

“Canada has 38 million people. All but 2,000 of them are really nice people. Those 2,000 work for the Border Police.”

Good luck, I’ve had nothing but wonderful times in my numerous visits to Canada.

Thanks for the info. To answer some questions, it is for leisure. As for the 14 day quarantine, the resort said they're not familiar with that stipulation. We would be flying to Calgary. The resort mentioned an update on June 21st as to whether the borders are opened.
