ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: U.S. citizens traveling to Canada are required to show U.S. Government-issued photo ID (a passport or driver’s license) and proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate. The U.S. Department of State recommends traveling with a valid U.S. passport to avoid delays or misunderstandings. A lost or stolen passport is also easier to replace when outside of the United States than other evidence of citizenship.

Entry into Canada is solely determined by Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials in accordance with Canadian law, see http://www.cbsa.gc.ca for details. Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada must carry both proof of citizenship and identity. A valid U.S. passport or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. If U.S. citizen travelers to Canada do not have a passport or approved alternate document such as a NEXUS card, they must show a government-issued photo ID (e.g. Driver’s License) and proof of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or expired U.S. passport.

Anyone with a criminal record (including even misdemeanors or Driving While Impaired (DWI)) charges may be barred from entering Canada and must qualify for a special waiver well in advance of any planned travel for further processing, which may take some time.

DO NOT attempt to bring firearms, pornography or drugs with you into Canada. None of these items are permitted at Digital Storm.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES:

PORNOGRAPHY AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES: Canada has strict laws concerning child pornography and in recent years there has been an increase of random checks of electronic media of travelers entering Canada . Computers are subject to search without a warrant at the border, and illegal content can result in the seizure of the computer as well as detention, arrest and prosecution of the bearer.

IMPORTATION OF FIREARMS: Firearms are much more strictly controlled in Canada than in the United States . As of January 1, 2001, visitors bringing any firearms into Canada, or planning to borrow and use firearms while in Canada , must declare the firearms in writing using a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration form. Full details and downloadable forms are available at the Canadian Firearms Centre web site, http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/, under the heading “Visitors to Canada .”

Canadian law prohibits the unlawful importation or trafficking of controlled substances and narcotics.
