Travelling in North America

Planning to travel to Mexico from the U.S.?

Although the Government of Canada recommends that Canadians travelling to any destination outside of Canada carry a valid passport, it is not mandatory to do so for travel to Mexico. To date, there has been no policy change requiring Canadians to travel with their passports to this destination. However, you must have sufficient identification to satisfy border officials of your identity and citizenship.

It is recommended that you consult your travel agent or the embassy or consultate of Mexico in the U.S. for travel document requirements.

Even though a passport is not currently required for entry to the United States or Mexico, it is mandatory to obtain a passport if you are taking a cruise or travelling on to another country.
