Important information for Canadians!!

I am not sure you can get across with a baptismal certificate. The guys at the border need to see prove of citizenship. That is why they need a birth certificate or passport. If you aren't going until July you still have plenty of time to order either one of those. Personally I would suggest the birth certificate, because you will need that to get the passport.

But have a fun trip when you do come!

BTW, PEI is not the only province that issued laminated birth certificates. I have mine from Saskatchewan and it came laminated.

Well, my brother gets across with his baptismal, so I don't think we'll have a problem.

If you need to apply for a Canadaian birth cert (and live in Ontario) you can go to www.cbs.gov.on.ca look under "Births, Deaths, and Marriages" or look in the BLUE pages of you phone book. If you apply on line it is a $25-$35 (paid by credit card) fee but you have it in 15 days........

BTW I have an Ont birth cert that is laminated.....I suppose I'm just "old" I think they stopped laminating them in the late 70's early 80's........... My kids birth certs are just paper, and if you have one that is laminated and have it replaced you will get one that is paper.
