Perhaps it was a false bs story? First of all, you don't even need a passport or a visa to travel from Canada to the US. >>> The government said Thursday it will go ahead with plans to require all travelers arriving from Canada, Mexico and other allied nations to show a passport or other such document to enter the U.S. The State and Homeland Security Departments said they expect to officially adopt the policy, which drew complaints from travelers, the affected nations and even President Bush, by the end of the year. But they pushed back by a year the date when the requirements would begin to affect travelers. Under the new timeline, all who travel by air or sea from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Bermuda and South and Central America--including U.S. citizens--will have to show a passport or one of four other secure documents by Dec. 31, 2006. Travelers from Mexico and Canada crossing the border by land will have to comply with the rules by Dec. 31, 2007. Officials also said they will keep working to come up with a cheaper, more widely used alternative document to allow U.S. citizens and other travelers to cross into the country over land borders. U.S. passports cost $97.
