What is the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and what does it mean for Canadians traveling the US?
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) is a U.S. initiative that will require all travelers, including Canadians, to carry a valid passport or other appropriate secure document when traveling to the United States. Effective June 1, 2009, Canadian citizens must present a WHTI-compliant document to enter the U.S. by land, air or water. Further information is available online at www.cic.gc.ca.
