All U.S. citizens must travel with a passport with a validity of at least 6 months beyond their intended stay (January 11, 2013) In addition, the Canadian Government is strictly enforcing entry requirements and as a result some U.S. and Canadian citizens with past criminal records or convictions may be refused entry into Canada. Almost all convictions including petty crimes and misdemeanors may render a person inadmissible to Canada, regardless of how long ago they occurred. It is recommended that persons who have been charged in the past or who have past convictions, no matter how petty or small, obtain the necessary documents before attempting to enter Canada. Airline tickets must match the name on your passport. If you enter a nickname on your registration, you will be responsible for any change fees imposed by the air carrier.
