Do I need my Canadian passport to travel into Canada from the US

Do I need my Canadian passport to travel into Canada from the US - View Of Niagara Falls And The Cityscape At Night

I am a Canadian citizen. I have lived in the US and have a permanent resident card. I ordered my Canadian passport but won't receive it before it's time for me to travel. Can I travel into Canada and get my passport at the Winnipeg passport office in person?



Best Answer

If travelling by air, the only accepted document other than a passport is a NEXUS card, as stated in Timatic, the database used by airlines

Otherwise, as stated by the CBSA, you can also use a citizenship certificate, or Green card (not mentioned), or enhanced driving licence.

Or, alternatively, a birth certificate plus one of the following

• CANPASS card

• Commercial Driver Registration Program card

• Ordinary driving license

• Employment or student card with photo and signature

• Provincial Health Insurance Card

• Provincial identity card

• Canadian Forces Identification

• Police Identification

• Firearms Acquisition Certificate

• Social Insurance Number Card

• Credit Card

• Vehicle Insurance Certificate

• Vehicle Registration
