- Waterluvian 9y agoThanks for sharing. I didn't know that. I always assumed it was policy. I've spent my whole life needing a driver's license or passport when I do anything money or government related. I'm glad they can make discresionary decisions like that for special circumstances, such as someone who clearly can't have an ID or passport yet. Mind if I ask, did they ask for your passport?
- toomanybeersies 9y agoHow did you not have a passport when you first moved to Canada? How did you get into the country?
- jdboyd 9y agoUntil 2008, US citizens didn't need a passport to enter Canada. What initially changed in 2008 was actually that you needed the passport to return back to the US. I don't know what the rules were back then for moving to Canada, but you could stay 180 days at a time back then.
