Headed to Canada? Bring a photo ID.

If anybody is heading to Calgary (whose FunnyFest starts tomorrow) or Montreal or Winnipeg for their comedy festivals, and you’re wondering what you might need to get into or get out of Canada, click here. (Be advised that the rules change on New Years Eve and get tighter and tighter for the following two New Years Eve’s.) For now, however, getting into Canada (and back into the U.S.) is about as easy/hard as it’s always been. From the website of the Canada Border Services Agency:

When you enter Canada, a customs officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, if one is necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as a photo ID. If you are a permanent resident of the U.S, you should bring your Permanent Resident Card (i.e., green card) with you.

NOTE: We take no responsibility for anyone goofing up and not getting in (or getting out)! Double check everything online or call your local travel agent! And, if you want to see how many Canadian dollars your US buck will buy, click here for the handy dandy Universal Currency Converter.
