Dear Colleagues,
Kathy Zimon is technically correct that American citizens will not be
required to have passports in order to enter Canada until December,
2006. So they are merely recommended; however.....if you don't have a
passport you must have a "raised seal" birth certificate (not a xerox copy)
plus another piece of government issued identification that includes a
photograph (driver's license, green card, etc.)
I was denied entry into Canada when traveling to Vancouver from Seattle for
the VRA conference in 1999 and had to spent the night in Seattle to wait
for a faxed copy of my passport. Not what I had in mind. My travel agent
reports that every time that she flown into Canada during the last three
years that she has been asked to produce a passport. I can confirm that
this has been the case when I have flown to Calgary both this year and last
year for ARLIS/NA related meetings.
A good place to check out the requirements is Zierer Visa Service
(http://www.zvs.com/ ).
As for me, I will be traveling with my passport.
See you all in Banff after we have all successfully crossed the
board. Margaret
