Passports for Canada

[offcamber09]

I believe you now need a passport to go to Canada. Mosport is less than 10 weeks away and the post office says to allow 6 weeks for pasport processing without paying and extra fee...just a heads up.

Bleh.. Thanks for the Heads up. I was also reading you need insurance cards for Canada too.

Yeah, the insurance cards are easy. Call you're insurance company and ask. They can usually FAX them to you. Be sure to get one for your tow vehicle and your race car.

My passport expires this year I think. Mick, check the date on yours.. I got the thing so we could go to Armenia....seems so long ago huh?

Passports will not be required for a Canada border crossing until after December 31, 2006. Still not a bad idea to get one now, they're much more convenient to use than other forms of ID.

Actually I don't believe it is required until December 31, 2007, for land travel. The requirement which goes into effect on December 31, 2006, is for air or sea travel.

I got some crap from a border patrol officer when I left Montreal last year when I didn't have my passport with me. Keys factors in getting crap were:

1) Entering the US from a different border crossing than the one I left (I left the US at the Plattsburgh point, but re-entered in Detriot)
2) I was entering Detriot and they were much sensitive about not having a passport.

Know i will get sh*t for this, but have heard too many bad stories about those guys up above so will pass on those events. Will make the boarder jump with a group of other Fcars for an FCA even as i guess there is strength in numbers. Am sure you guys will have an awesome time in Mosport.

Look forward to seeing a few COMSCC'ers at the Glenn in May.
