July 25 - DRIVEN 2009 Winnipeg Convention Centre

Allan,
I am not trying to deter USA residents from making your event (as this issue will be important come P10 for Canadian residents). January 31st, 2008 had one step toward the passport issue, now June 1st, 2009 will be another change:
From US Department of Transportation Website (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html)
"All Americans traveling by air outside of the United States are required to present a passport or other valid travel document to enter the United States. This requirement will be extended to sea travel (except closed-loop cruises), including ferry service, on June 1, 2009. Until then, U.S. citizens traveling by sea may present government-issued photo identification and a document showing their U.S. citizenship (for example, a birth certificate or certificate of nationalization). <u>Starting June 1, 2009, all travelers must present a Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) compliant document such as a passport or a passport card for entry to the United States. While passport cards and enhanced driver’s licenses are sufficient for entry into the United States, they may not be accepted by the particular country you plan to visit</u>; please be sure to check with your cruise line and countries of destination for any foreign entry requirements.
Both the U.S. and Canadian governments urge frequent travelers to join the NEXUS trusted traveler program. NEXUS members receive a special travel card that allows expedited border crossings for both private and commercial travelers through both U.S. and Canadian border controls very quickly. The CBP has detailed information about the NEXUS program .
U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid U.S. passport. A visa is not required for U.S. citizens to visit Canada for up to 180 days. Anyone seeking to enter Canada for any purpose other than a visit (e.g. to work, study or immigrate) must qualify for the appropriate entry status, and should contact the Canadian Embassy or nearest consulate and visit the Canadian immigration web site .
Anyone with a criminal record (including misdemeanors or Driving While Impaired (DWI) charges may be barred from entering Canada and must obtain a special waiver well in advance of any planned travel. To determine whether you may be inadmissible and how to overcome this finding , refer to the Canadian citizenship and immigration web site.
Forfurther information on entry requirements , travelers may contact the Canadian Embassy at 501 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC 20001, tel. (202) 682-1740; or the Canadian consulates in Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, San Juan or Seattle.Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our web site. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information sheet."
Now the only thing that might be a saving grace is the 'enhanced drivers license'.....I don't know if the new ND license from last year is considered 'enhanced' or not?!? It would be nice to know. I DO KNOW that you DO NOT need a passport to enter into Canada, the issue here is the return to the USA.

Jason no worries. I think its good that we're both trying to cover all bases to ensure that everyone is able to attend both events.
Entry into Canada by a US Resident:
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.htmlENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: Entry into Canada is solely determined by Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials in accordance with Canadian law . Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry both proof of citizenship and proof of identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card or NEXUS card (see below) satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. If U.S. citizen travelers to Canada do not have a passport, passport card or approved alternate document such as a NEXUS card, they must show a government-issued photo ID (e.g. Driver’s License) and proof of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or expired U.S. passport. Children under sixteen need only present proof of U.S. citizenship.
US Resident return to the US from Canada by land after June 1, 2009:
http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html
On June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have a passport, passport card, or <u>other travel document approved by the Department of Homeland Security</u>.
What is this other? Well:
US and Canadian Citizens Single Document Option:
One of the following documents should be presented to prove both identity and citizenship.
Acceptable Documents as of January 31, 2008
• U.S. or Canadian Passport
• U.S. Passport Card (Available Spring 2008)*
• Trusted Traveler Cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST)*
• State or Provincial Issued Enhanced Driver’s License (when available*– this secure driver’s license will denote identity and citizenship.)*
• Enhanced Tribal Cards (when available)*
• U.S. Military Identification with Military Travel Orders
• U.S. Merchant Mariner Document
• Native American Tribal Photo Identification Card
• Form I-872 American Indian Card
• Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) Card- Frequent Land Border Crossers — To expedite processing into the United States, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recommends using one of the above asterisked
**
US and Canadian Citizen Two Document Option**All U.S. and Canadian citizens who do not have one of the documents from the list above must present BOTH an identification and citizenship document from each of the columns below.
Column 1
Identification Documents*
• Driver’s license or identification card issued by a federal, state, provincial, county, territory, or municipal authority
• U.S. or Canadian military identification card- All identification documents must have a photo, name, and date of birth.
Column 2
Citizenship Documents
• U.S. or Canadian birth certificate issued by a federal, state, provincial, county, territory, or municipal authority
• U.S. Consular report of birth abroad
• U.S. Certificate of Naturalization
• U.S. Certificate of Citizenship
• U.S. Citizen Identification Card
• Canadian Citizenship Card
• Canadian certificate of citizenship without photoSo looks like if you're returning a Driver's license and birth certificate will do the trick. Now what about this enhanced driver's license? Well we in Manitoba are starting to implement them as well as other provinces. I did a quick search and found the following document which outlines what Canadian provinces and US states have them. It turns out that North Dakota does not have them and Manitoba does. So, with that in mind you can get back into the states with your ND Drivers' license and 1 item from column 2 above.
Enhanced Driver's License Document:

now i'm relly confused...Basically, as of June 1st, you ARE required to have a passport or NEXUS card to get back IN to the US. This goes for Canadian residents as well.
"Visitors from any country other than the U.S. need a passport to enter Canada. On the other hand, because of a friendly border crossing agreement between Canada and the United States, Canada Border Services does not require U.S. citizens to present a passport to enter Canada. This friendly border crossing agreement used to be mutual; [B]however, now the WHTI(June 1, 2009) requires that U.S. citizens have a passport to return home.[/B]"

to avoid confusion, because every thread turns into a passport debate, we all drive our cars to the border, and just have the US cars park along the US border, and the Canucks park on their side. there for no confusion, nobody has to worry about passports, problem solved

Afterparty will be at Republic. Trust me you're gonna love the music in this place that night. DJ Dow Jones and Playboy DJ Tamara Sky (google her!) All my homies from Fargostreets will get passes to bypass the massive lineups outside with full access to the VIP area. Trust me, there will be massive lineups that night. Y'know how us Canadians like to work and party hard! This is by far the hottest club in the city right now and you guys will absolutely love it.
Pre-party will probably just be a lounging night. If you guys are really looking for one, I'll set something up.

If you're staying at the Delta it's just about a $4 cab ride or a 8 minute walk or a 20 minute stumble or a 30 hands and knees crawl.
