Can you still travel to Canada with just a USA birth certificate or do you need to have a passport?

mainly for an individual over the age of 21

I was just in Canada from the U.S with only a birth certificate and a license. I don't think you need a passport yet, but it's coming soon.

It's best to get a passport. They will still accept the BC if your driving but if you want to fly it must be a passport!!!!!!!!!!

Travel "to" Canada has never changed and is not set to.

The issue is when you return to the USA. (that is called your "re-entry") When you "enter or re-enter" the USA by air, you now need a passport. That is since January 23, 2007. By land or water, this "enter or re-enter" will require a passport as soon as January 2008.

To enter Canada you need proof of citizenship (org birth certificate) and government issued photo ID (a drivers license). A passport can also be used, but is not required.

PASSPORT IS NOT REQUIRED... BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS SUFFICIENT. - fr. an international reservations and ticketing officer
