U.S. Citizen Visiting Canada

[Kathryn41 3,205]

I get scared when Alla goes to Montreal by herself! She drives to the South Shore and takes the Metro. She does not want to drive in the city.

She is smart! Trust your wife - no one wants to drive in Montreal unless they have to! The Metro is much better "

I am Canadian and drove to Canada this summer with my children. Upon return to the USA, I handed the Customs Agent, the US passport for my American born child and the Canadian Passport & GC's for myself and my Canadian born child. The officer did not open the Canadian passports, handed them back to me and said all I need to show is the GC's.

Yes the trip has already taken place and I just left the hubby behind. Didn't want the added stress.

Now that just sounds funny - LOL. Hubby's can add stress, passport or not..

Seems strange that a green card carries a lot more weight than being a natural born US citizen or even a naturalized citizen. But what can you expect from a country that has over 1,525 government agencies, with each making their own laws. Prior to WW II, agencies could only advise congress, that sure changed for the worst. Ha, ask your congressman to name these 1,525 different governmental agencies.

Oh believe me I know. I was not only referring to the stress of him not having the passport but the stress of dragging him along with my step mother and 16 year old brother. They were more than enough to make a very memorable trip

I am not scared about her driving! I am scared about her spending!

Why would you think that? Because it is smaller than a passport? I use an enhanced DL
