Traveling to the ABCT Convention in Toronto

Current rules impel everyone from every country arriving in Canada by air, land, and sea to have a passport or equivalent travel document. (Some exceptions apply to children's passport requirements).

For U.S. citizens full information and passport applications are available at travel.state.gov/passport. Generally passport applications or renewals are processed in 4 to 6 weeks. Passports must be renewed every 10 years. Additional fees are charged for quicker expedited service.

Besides an up-to-date passport, visitors may instead have an equivalent travel document, such as a NEXUS Card. This card has been devised by a partnership between the Canada and U.S. border services that pre-approves entry for travelers by land, sea, or air between Canada and U.S. An added benefit is designated and faster lanes at border crossings and airports. Application process involves interview, a retinal scan, and fingerprinting. Both U.S. and Canadian citizens apply through U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The NEXUS card has an additional fee.

There is also a U.S. Passport Card: This U.S. Department of State-issued ID is valid for entry into Canada by land or sea, though not valid for international air travel.
