Any existing D.W.I., felony, assault, or arrest record, no matter how old the violation or what it was even if it is expunged in the USA, will still show up in the records of Canada. If you have any doubts about any violation call Canada Immigration at 1-807-274-3655, ext. 239 or 240.
PASSPORTS: All U.S. citizens 16 yrs. and older will be required to have a valid passport to cross the border. Children 15 yrs. and younger will be required to show birth certificates (copy o.k.). If a child is traveling with only one parent or grandparents they must have a permission slip from another parent or both parents. You can apply for a passport card for $50 which will get you across any border by land but not by air.
A "Remote Area Border Crossing Permit' may assist the Immigration officer in determining admissibility to Canada since it requires normal background checks. This permit costs $30.ºº Canadian (approx. $30.ºº US). More information regarding the "Remote Area Border Crossing Permit' is available at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/prog/canpass/rabc-pfre/menu-eng.html.
