Border regulations Travelling to Canada from the United States When travelling by air between the U.S. and Canada, you are required to present a passport. This applies to everyone, including newborns, infants and children. When travelling by land or sea to Canada, a passport is not required but is strongly recommended. Alternatively, you will need other documentation that shows proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, a certificate of citizenship or naturalization or a Certificate of Indian Status, plus a photo ID. Please be advised that you will need to comply with stricter U.S. entry requirements to return to the U.S. U.S. and Canadian citizen children under age 19 arriving by bus or train and travelling with a school group do not require a passport. The student may present an original or copy of their birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, a Naturalization Certificate, or a Canadian Citizenship Card. Arrivals by air travel require a passport. Tourism Winnipeg advises U.S. residents to visit travel.state.gov for the most up-to-date information. From countries other than the United States Passports are required. Visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to or transit through Canada will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa.
