Temporary reprieve on passports

Good news for your summer vacation in Canada!! If you are a U.S. resident who has applied for your passport, from now until the end of September, you can fly to Canada with a government-issued identification, such as a driver's license, and a receipt from a State Department Web site showing you have applied for a passport.

All the warnings we gave didn't help since there has been a mad dash to get passports.

At Canadian Corner, we think it's great to see an increased interest in passports and the international travel it provides. Hopefully, your view of traveling to Canada hasn't been deterred by these changes. If so, it's not Canada's fault. Just remember that.
