So we dipping to KKKANADA YET?
I kinda don’t have anything or anyone anyway, I’m a trans woman, I have… documented interactions with law enforcement officers during protests and am in the Midwest. I don’t have a passport. But I got high INT & CHR stats. And the grit of a White Sox girlie.
Under 52(2) of the immigration regs, American citizens do not need to hold a valid passport in order to enter Canada to be a temporary resident (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/page-8.html#h-686250). You do, however, have to PROVE your American citizenship which a passport does.
Looks like the options are passport, birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, or certificate of Indian status. Never realized you could get in with just a birth certificate. But then again, who carries that with them?
Technically, a US passport that expires during the stay also counts (everyone else, besides the weird exceptions needs to have a passport that is valid for the duration). As far as I know, they might even accept an expired US passport but I wouldnt push that. There were some other exceptions that were up to the minister over they years - like Venezuelan passports even if they were expired were accepted
