Randy also asked that I pass along the following to anyone planning to attend the Toronto meeting. Canadian Visa Requirements: Visas are not required for U.S. tourists entering Canada from the U.S. for stays up to 180 days. You will need proof of your U.S. citizenship such as: (a) your U.S. passport or (b) original or certified copy of your birth certificate and photo identification. http://www.canada-travel-guide.com/documents-needed-to-travel-to-canada.html And, for anyone who likes to play with words - this is not referring to your credit card, although I doubt that the Canadian officials require you to have a credit card either, be it Visa, Mastercard, or any of the others. However, having a credit of debit card can be very helpful. When my husband and I visited Australia several years ago, we found that using a credit of debit card was the easiest and cheapest way to go. Our cards would automatically do the money conversion, saving us the conversion fees you pay when you convert cash to another currency. -- Danee International Ferret Congress Health Issues Coordinator http://ferretcongress.org ADV - If your ferret hasn't been tested, you don't know!
