tito, you'll need your birth certificate, passport and drivers licence

i went today and dl and birth cert was fine. but they have all the right to bust your balls if they feel so inclined.

last time i went they held us for 45 minutes while they did background searches on us.

we fit so many profiles LOL

2 guys, on a day trip only, in a truck with temporary insurance, both unemployed, having known eachother for 2 years, going to everett wa to deliver a bday present.

basically the same id you need to get into clubs.

1= photo ID , DL, BC ID, passport
2= birth cert

passports aren't needed for crossing the usa/canada border for 2 more years
I'm going friday WOOHOO

^Maybe they thought you were a terrorist, you look the part hehe jk

Last I went, in August...just a DL and birth certificate

Maybe they thought you were a terrorist, you look the part hehe jk

they told us straightup we fit the profile for smugglers.

they didnt think we were terrorists.

they searched the truck, checked our IDs, asked a million questions (many were the same, just worded differently) and then let us pass. The whole thing only took 45 mins.

if you're planning on going tomorrow i'd seriously suggest leaving in a few hours cause they are saying people start lining up at around 3/4am for the boxing day rush.

heard that on the radio! I LOVE LISTENING TO THE RADIO

I had a birth certificate and DL one time, and they asked for my passport but I didn't have it. They searched my car and held me up for 3 hours!!

It's just cause I'm brown, lol. Fcukin a-holes! They were like asking me stupid **** like, "Whos the president of Canada?" and one homeland security guy held up a CD and asked me what was on it!! ??

What a stupid question! I told him there was music on it and he didn't believe me, he had to go listen to it to make sure.

On my way back I told the Canadian border what happened and they laughed and told me to bring my Passport next time to be safe.

So yeah, I'd take a passport if I were you. But if you're white. You should be ok

lol

tomorrow on the I-5

People who continue to state incorrect information with no knowledge really piss me off. If you "hear" something why not find out if it's correct?

Do I now need a passport to travel to the United States?
Though passports are the document of choice for travel, Canadian citizens do not currently require a passport to travel to the United States. However, Passport Canada encourages Canadians who are considering travelling outside Canada to obtain a passport, as it is the most widely accepted proof of Canadian identity and citizenship.

On September 1, 2005, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative proposal was formally submitted for public comment. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative will require all U.S. citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and citizens of Canada and Mexico to have a passport or other accepted secure document that establishes the bearer's identity and nationality to enter or re-enter the United States by January 1, 2008.
