hello i went to Canada last year and alls i needed was my birth certificate and ID, but someone told me at work that now you need a passport as well. i have done research on this and have found that most of the sites say this law won't go into affect till 2008 most of those sites where somewhat old so i wanted to make sure nothings changed since then and to see if someone knows for sure.

Yes, thanks to the government changing the law. Also for Mexico and the Bahamas. Please see below for dates:
Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable.
As early as January 1, 2008, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries), may be required to present a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. While recent legislative changes permit a later deadline, the Departments of State and Homeland Security are working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Ample advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain passports or passport cards for land/sea entries.

www.state.gov is the best place to get answers to your passport questions. As long as you are not going by air, you don't need one until 2008. But keep in mind that you will not be able to fly back in an emergency if you don't have a passport.

If you are flying you need a passport.

you can drive accross if you aren't going to stay, but if on a form of country-between-country transportation, you have to show where you belong and why you are on the thing...
