As a United States citizen, do I need a passport to travel to Canada?
Question Posted Monday December 5 2011, 7:33 am
My friends and I want to go to Montreal to celebrate New Years Eve, so it would probably only be a few day stay. Do I need to acquire a passport for this?
I am an 18 year old United States citizen living in Boston, Massachusetts.

You will not be let into Canada without one (and even if you could get into Canada without a passport, the US board guards would not be obliged to let you back into the US without proof of citizenship - i.e., a passport). [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
