NEED A NEW PASSPORT? ATTEND ONE OF PASSPORT CLINICS, BBQS AND INFORMATION SESSIONS THAT I’LL BE HOSTING ACROSS NORTHERN ALBERTA THIS SUMMER!

DID YOU KNOW? As of June 1, 2009, Canadian citizens are required to present a valid passport, a NEXUS or Free and Secure Trade (FAST) card, or an enhanced driver's license/enhanced identification card when entering the United States at its land or water crossings
 
However, Canadian citizens 15 years of age or under only require proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or a Canadian citizenship card.

BE PREPARED AT THE BORDER!
