<DIV>As of June '06, when I was last in Canada, passports were required for flying, strongly recommended for driving (bus, walking. whatever), and we were told that within a few months the requirement would be extended to non-air travel as well and birth certificates etc. would no longer be accepted for land entry back into the US. Always a better idea to have your passport along anyhow. </DIV>
