BSO Robichaud: Hi, everyone. Border Services Officer Robichaud here to remind you to carry proper identification when traveling to Canada. A passport is always best, but U.S. citizens can also use a NEXUS or FAST card. U.S. permanent residents require a passport and official proof of status. International visitors need a passport and a visa when applicable. If you do not have the proper documents, you could be delayed or refused entry into Canada.
