At this time you'll have more trouble getting back into the states than into Canada but neither requires a passport yet. Your best bet is to have a valid government ID and/or certified copy of your birth certificate. Both is best.

I'm probably going to jinx myself . . . we always have our driver's licenses and birth certificates for all of us ready and in order for the agent on both sides of the border. I haven't been pulled over for years. We'll have to get the passports over the winter.

Yes something did change. Before Jan. of this year you could have declared your citizenship by filling out a form while providing an I.D. card (drivers license)and no physical evidence of where you where born. That is no longer the the case.

A passport is still NOT required to drive across the border, but a certified copy of your birth certificate is for all members of your group regardless of age.(certified means one with a raised stamp mark on it.)

It is a simple enough change, but has been complicated by mis-information. The passport reguirment which is now scheduled for next year has been delayed two or three times in the past.

I have my passport and will definitely take it along but I have a question? So what happens if you leave the USA and enter into Canada and then try to return to the USA with no certified copy of your birth certificate? They send you back to Canada for another weeks worth of fishing?

I think the only people that need a certified copy of their birth certificate are minors who don't have a picture id...I might be wrong, but I don't remember having to bring one along myself. I do remember about 5 years ago, I forgot my son's birth certificate at home and the US Customs Agent gave me a really hard time, but ultimately let us through.

If you have a passport, you definitely don't need the birth certificate.

*EDIT* Ooops, didn't see that there was a change since Jan. Bring your passport and you have nothing to worry about.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
