What documents do I need to enter Canada?
All U.S. Citizens need a passport or passport card that is valid through their stay in Canada. Please check your expiration date on your passport before booking your stay. It can take up to 8 weeks to renew your passport. We also suggest downloading the ArriveCAN app before you fly into Canada to make your customs and immigration declaration up to 72 hours in advance.
