I'm going to b 17
 

I'm going to be 17 on the 15 dec and I want to travel alone to canada from uk on 13 dec......would I need any extra needs?

That's in a week! I presume you have a passport, a return ticket and enough money to cover your stay.
Hopefully you have accommodation booked or somewhere to stay.. you may be asked for these details on arrival.

Here's a website for information about arriving in Canada by air.

You will also need a very warm coat, hat, scarf and gloves. Depending on where you will be going in Canada, you may need boots.

Thanx guys for the reply

The only "hasstle" wild b if u speak the way u rite.

Do you have family here? What about Christmas?

I do have my mum there.....going to spend Xmas with my mum........

@oceanbreez1 how do I write? Be more specific..........it's my first time travelling alone abroad I'm just trying to get my self prepared for anything out of d ordinary with the customs.....

Temi,
Have a great trip and as Kodi said take plenty of warm clothing.

You're allowed to stay up to 6 months without a visa.
If you don't have a return ticket then you might get asked a lot of extra questions to make sure you don't intend to work, study or overstay the 6 months allowed. You'd need a visa to stay longer.

Thanx guys, ur response is much appreciated.....bless

Hopefully you have appropriate notes and all needed documents for a minor crossing an international border.

Were you on the U.S. mainland and taking a land crossing, it would make sense that the parent residing in the U.S. had written a note "to whom it may concern" (with that parents contact info) giving permission for the 17yo to cross the border.

It probably wouldn't hurt to have notes from BOTH parents, each describing the full itinerary of your round trip, for smoothest sailing through the borders.

Were you "18", you would not need such things.


LOL - I went across the border on my 18th birthday.
