Anyone in? Normally we get a couple car-loads of people interested.
We get to TO around 12-1p and get back to the border around 10-11p, although it depends on whether or not people want to make any stops on the way back.

You can currently buy tickets for $18 through the website, or $20 at the door.
Note: At least per a news report I just saw, you'll need a passport OR drivers license AND an embossed copy of your birth certificate (as of Feb 1st).
Mention in your post if you don't mind driving.

I applied for mine last week and the guy said "about 3 weeks" (I didn't choose expedited). www.state.gov says 4-6 weeks. |

Usually takes about 2 months or you can pay a bunch extra and get it in 1, give or take |

Birth-certificates and drivers license has always been my choice
I'll go, prefer not drive but if push comes to shove I will, its Canada, I'm legal up there. _________________ Best Formula N-A 12.1 @ 110 (pre-engine swap) |

They changed the policy. ID and a birth certificate used to be all you needed but as of January 1st you are supposed to have a passport. Getting into Cananda will be easy with out a passport, but getting back into the states might be a problem. |

Actually Canada has somewhat changed their tune now, last 3 or 4 times I've went (once this weekend) they hassled me because I didn't have a Passport or a Birth Certificate.
They said it's always been Canadian Policy that you must prove citizenship in some way, So drivers license and Birth Certificate or passport apparantly has always been needed.
Coming back each time has been a breeze on the US side.
Its only in this last year that Canada has really gotten strict about their end. |
