You Must Have a Passport
All U.S. citizens arriving in Canada must have a valid passport or passport equivalent, such as a passport card or NEXUS card. Gone are the days of casual cross-border visits with only a driver's license; those disappeared after 9/11.
Considering this, what do I need to bring to Canada?
Proof of Citizenship and Identity. Canadian law requires that all visitors 18 and over to carry two forms of identification: proof of citizenship and proof of identity. A United States passport, passport card, or NEXUS card meets either requirement.
