No, a passport is not required to enter Canada from the U.S., at least not yet. There will come a time (I believe it's 2007) where everyone will require a passport.

All you need right now is your birth certificate and your driver's licence or state ID card.

What about duals (Canuck-Yank)?

Currently, I know I can carry my US passport (smallest, least awkward document to use) for re-entering US and show my Canadian Citizenship Card when entering Canada.

Will duals like me require a passport both ways?

Canadian citizens must enter Canada as Canadian Citizens.. US Citizens must enter the US as US Citizens.

Whatever proof that you wish to bring to satisfy an officer that you have those two stati would be fine...
