Travel to Canada with a expired passport?
« on: July 17, 2013, 04:26:24 PM »
Does anyone know if you can travel to Canada by car with an expired passport and a valid drivers license?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

are you Canadian or American? If your Canadian you won't have an issue entering Canada. Officially you need a valid passport, or a enhanced license. I would recommend calling your port of entry, has worked for me numerous times
