I'm 17, I've had my license for a tad bit over a year, so can I drive over the Canadian border by myself? Or do I have to be 18?

ooo... look out canada! here come's kimmy!

You need a birth certificate?

When I drove arcoss, the only thing that the border cop asked me was where I was going, where I was from and how long I was staying.

can't use substitute the birth certificate with a passport? i'm pretty sure i've done that before. but then it wasn't me just driving myself over alone.

hmm. i thought we learned about this in drivers ed. i think you can once you get all that other stuff taken care of: birth certificate, et al.

Yeah, you need a birth certificate. You will sometimes get someone who will let you in to Canada with nothing at all but a drivers license and other times you will get someone who wants a certificate

ya since 9/11 they've been asking for your birth certificate... even then I've gotten over without it, it just depends on your reasoning for being in the country. Obviously a bunch of kids going to a hockey game aren't terrorists

the US border people are way worse then the canadian, i was goin to oregon for an olp concert and they wouldnt let across because i didnt have any cash on me, i told them i was only gonna be gone for a day and i had all kinds of credit cards and debit and they made me go home and get canadian money , what the hell good is canadian money in the US,

that's stupid... the same goes here though that the guards are easier on the Canadian side. If you go through the Fort Erie/Buffalo toll go through the toll that says the person is bi-lingual. They'll be Canadian and easier on you.
