Travel Documents for Entering the United States

Air

Canadian citizens flying to or through the United States must present one of the following documents to enter the United States by air:

• A valid Canadian passport; or
• A valid NEXUS card when used at a NEXUS kiosk at participating airports.

This requirement applies to all travellers, regardless of age, including children.

Canadian citizens intending to fly to the United States should apply for a passport, keep it up to date and carry it with them when travelling. For more information about passports: Passport Canada

The NEXUS program offers a simplified and expedited border clearance process to low-risk, pre-approved travellers.
