Hi,

Here's a link to an article on land boarder crossings and passport requirements that go into effect in June 2009.

If I don't get one, will I have to stay in Canada and keep fishing?

LOL, wouldn't that be a tragedy. Maybe I will leave mine at home this year. :)

Yeah, it would be too bad if you "forgot" to bring the passport.

Reminds me of a trip to the Boundary Waters a few years ago. My son was worried we'd get lost, to which I replied, "What's the downside?"

:exactly:

Canadian customs might have to require a passport to get in. Or they may end up having to keep to many of us.

It took me only 2 1/2 weeks to get my passport. Wow

HammerTime, when did you apply? Took my nephew about 3 months!

Wife and Kids applied 4 weeks ago and had them back in 12 days. Got mine last year took over 6 months. Don't know how they do it so fast now, maybe just way fewer apps.
Either way no woriies for 10 yrs.
64 days and counting

My daughter just got hers and it came in less than 2 weeks. We didn't pay the rush fee either. We did all of this throught the U.S. Post Office. Very nice service.

I applied in the middle of March. I was told it would take quite a bit longer (official word)but thay also said you could expect it in 3 weeks.

Looks like an error in my favor.

I suspect that next year it will be much longer as it gets to crunch time.
