Visa and Passport Information
PASSPORTS
As of June 2009, everyone wishing to enter Canada by air, land and sea is required to produce a passport. Getting your passport is easy,
but requires some advanced planning.
U.S. MEMBERS: To ensure you receive your passport in time, be sure to send in your documentation at least six weeks prior to your
departure date. Full details on attaining or renewing your passport can be found at
www.travel.state.gov/passport.
