Do I need a passport to drive into Canada?
I know this has probably been covered before but I couldn't find it using the search feature. We have gotten conflicting information about this from different sources. We plan on traveling from Missou...

Keep in mind that the passport card is ONLY good for land border crossings. You CANNOT fly with it. If your gf had only the card,and some emergency came up where she needed to suddenly fly home from Canada, she'd be SOL. You'd have to drive back across the border from wherever you are so she could catch a flight at a US airport.
The OP said they want to enter from Michigan, that means either Saul Ste. Marie or Port Huron / Detroit, and drive to Niagara Falls. That means either a 8 hour or 4 hour drive.
Considering they would still have to drive to an International airport to fly home, there’s no real issue, it would be as far from either of those routes to a US airport as a Canadian one and flying from a US airport would be a LOT cheaper and likely faster.
Absolutely right. But keep in mind that other people read and learn from these posts besides the OP.
