I am going to Canada soon and all that I see on the internet says that by AIR I need a passport as of this year, but by land or sea (I will be going on a cruise in the winter so I want to know as well) I won't need one until 2008?
Anyone read any conflicting info on this? I don't want to drive to the border and not have a passport if I have to have it. The trip is farely soon so I won't have time to get one.
I will for the cruise just to be safe but any info would be helpful.
Thanks

Effective January 23, 2007, all U.S. citizens traveling by air to and from Canada are required to have a valid passport to enter the United States. As early as January 1, 2008, U.S. citizens traveling between the United States and Canada by land or sea (including ferries), may be required to present a valid U.S. passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. Ample advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain passports or passport cards for land/sea entries.

Air travel requires a passport as of 2007; ground travel as of 2008.
Passports are great identification. But stand by, both the US and Canadian authorities are looking at finding a way through this for both citizens.
