Valid Canada Travel Documents and Passport Substitutes
Friday January 16, 2009
With all the talk of
new passport requirements to enter or re-enter the U.S., people are rushing off to apply for their passports - a backlogged process at the moment.
However, aside from a passport there are several
travel documents that are equivalent to a passport. These travel documents satisfy Canada border requirements in that they prove both the identity and citizenship of the traveller.
In some cases, applying for these
alternate travel documents may be cheaper and faster.

Quebec Winter Carnival 2009
Wednesday January 7, 2009
Canada - home to lots of snow and chilly winter weather - is not surprisingly also home to the biggest winter carnival in the world: the
Quebec Winter Carnival.
Each year at the end of January begins the 17-day long freeze-fest in gorgeous Quebec City. Think Mardi Gras in winter and you have some idea what a big deal the Quebec Winter Carnival is.
