American Visitors
U.S. citizens should bring a passport when visiting Canada (Americans can cross the U.S. border to Canada with just a birth certificate and photo ID, but you’ll need your passport to go home again.) U.S. citizens don’t need a visa for a stay of up to 180 days.
International Visitors
International visitors to Canada who are not U.S. citizens must carry a valid passport and, if required, a visa when entering the country. Citizens from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia and others don’t need a visa to enter Canada.
