07/24/2017 05:19PM definitely bring the notarized paper for any minor not accompanied by both parents. we bring them every year. sometimes we don't get asked for them, sometime we do. we did get asked this summer. also, you might prep any younger kids for the possibility of being asked questions by the border agents. we've had both US and Canadian agents ask our kids things like "point to your dad," "where are you from," "where is your mom." No big deal, but it could be a little unnerving for a youngster, especially a shy or quiet one. |

07/24/2017 06:26AM If only one parent in vehicle, need notarized statement from other parent unless you have a passport, and even then, a good idea. |

07/23/2017 03:11PM A birth certificate or passport to get into Canada. A birth certificate or passport to return to the USA. If 16 or older a passport is required to return to USA. |

07/23/2017 06:43AM Just returned from Canada with an 11 year old who is not my child. I had a notarized note from his mother giving me permission to take him to Canada for the purpose of a canoe trip and to seek medical treatment for him if I thought it was necessary. I also had a pass port for him. We had no trouble crossing the border either way. |

07/22/2017 10:02PM Hello, I am thinking about taking a side trip to Canada in a vehicle. (If I am near Grand Marias what border crossing would be recommended?) Has anyone brought young children to Canada? From what I have read, children under 16 can cross with a birth certificate. Thanks, Rand |
