There is a group of 7 girls, we are going from Michigan via the tunnel in Detroit to Windsor for the night to casinos and bars, think we will have problems if we don't all have our birth cert? We are going sat and a few girls cannot find theirs, but we all have drivers licenses???

Jen, who's to say if you'll be asked.<BR><BR>Chances are you won't be asked going INTO Canada, but you might. Chances are you'll be asked heading back into the USA.<BR><BR>What's required of you is proof of *citizenship*. A driver's license isn't proof of citizenship... it's just photo ID. It doesn't prove you're an American citizen. It just proves that you can legally drive there.<BR><BR>A birth certificate is proof of citizenship, but since birth certificates don't have any photo ID, the driver's license kind of goes hand in hand. The birth certificate proves your citizenship, and your driver's license proves that the name on the birth certificate is *you*. ;) <BR><BR>If you have a passport, that's valid proof of citizenship w/photo ID too.<BR><BR>I don't know if you'll be hassled are not. It depends on whether you'll be asked for it. If you ARE asked for proof of citizenship, they have the right to refuse entry into Canada or into the USA.

Jen you're not likely to have a problem getting into Canada. We don't feel unduly threatened in this country and so long as you're obviously american you'll have no problem getting into Canada. However US Immigration guys are unpredictably capricious and can cause all sorts of inconveniences if they are so inclined. even if you're obviously some US gals they can decide they want to make life difficult for you and give you a hard time. Ultimately of course they will let you in and probably you will only get a 'next time' slap on the wrist but just be forwarned.
