I assume she's from the United States? She will need preferably a valid passport and driver's license. We just got back from Canada about a month ago. We went for a week. We were told that THE LAW requiring the passport does not go into full effect until January 2007, but that our passage would be smoother and less complicated if we had one...so, we got that before we left. So other than tickets, passports, and a driver's license (which my husband said is not required as long as you have a valid passport), the only other thing we had to do was fill out a half sheet of things we were taking into Canada(then out of Canada when we left). They gave us these at the airport and we had to turn them into customs. Tell her have a great time! I Loved It

I go to MTL pretty much every year, as many have said the permission from both parents just in case since she is underage but she might not even need it, passport alot easier and faster than birth certificate, and bring an ID like a DL...and make sure she fills ALL that she is carrying into Can when she gets the custom sheet at the airport. I missed an item when I was filling it out and when I arrives at Dorval Int(Trudeau now it's called) Cnd custom pulled me aside for not putting down a bday gift I forgot to put down and the value it is worth...was just a bottle of cologne for my cousin about 60 dollars US. They told me I could have had all my belongings confiscated. Wasted 30 mins of my time after explaining I just forgot...I mean I wrote down all the other items and everything. Coming back also wasn't much of a prob, same routine as going in...check Passport and ticket, fill custom sheets and done.

Anyone under a certian age needs a letter from a parent or legal guardian. Birth certificate or other form of ID. The passport is NOT required though if the perosn has a state issued photo ID that shows their birthdate, that would be very good.

Hi greg b....(That's cute...like "greg the bunny")
Yes your 17-yr old needs a passport. And a letter of permission to travel out of the country from both parents. (This is asked for because the border agents know that sometimes divorced parents have custody orders that prohibit their minor children from traveling out of the country)
Good Luck.
By the way...will you pleez pick this answer as the best! U R sweet if u do! thin-Q vry mch!

Birth Certificate with the "raised" seal. And a government issued ID with a photo on it (Driver's license or College/School ID).
Going into Canada isn't the problem - getting back in the US is where the problems will occur.
A passport is a great thing to have in place of those two items.
DO NOT GO WITHOUT THESE TWO DOCUMENTS - I KID YOU NOT.

A passport is not required until next year, I believe - a driver's license and another piece of photo ID will suffice.. perhaps a birth certificate.

I just checked this out myself - whatever I said above is incorrect - it only applies to myself since I'm Canadian, I apologize:
"Current Requirements for Entry Into Canada
Visas are not required for U.S. citizens entering Canada from the U.S. You will, however, need:
1. Proof of your U.S. citizenship such as your U.S. passport (For information on obtaining a U.S. passport, check with one of the regional passport agencies located throughout the U.S.) or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, you should travel with your naturalization certificate. A driver’s license, voter’s registration card or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship.
2. Photo identification, such as a current, valid driver’s license."

A notarized power of attorney granting temporary custody to someone on the trip that is over age 17.
An official government picture ID, like a driver's license.

A passport would be advised. Your local post office can probably set you up with one. And unless they have a personal form of transportation, I'd suggest some sort of rail pass as well. You can usually buy a pass for bus or train fair for a months worth before heading into a new country.
A slight grasp of French, a good codochrome camera, and a douse of common sense wouldn't hurt, either. ;)

She need a passport, and most likely another photo ID. My husband is a resident alien, who was born just north of Toronto. His mother brought him to the States when he was 10, and he still has family that owns a lodge in the mountains.
