Passcard for Canada?
Planning a tentative trip to Banff and was wondering if I can get in and out with a passcard rather than a passport?

I don't know what a passcard is, but in adjoining states we can get in/back with an enhanced driver's license. Keep in mind that it's generally easier to get into Canada unless you have a DUI than getting back into the US.
Interesting how different experiences lead us..
I've always found it way smoother coming home. When I'm heading north, I'm a visitor requesting the opportunity to visit. I understand the game.
But upon returning, I'm coming home. This is my home. I'm not asking, and there isn't any doubt where I'm heading or whether I'll get there. Longest I've been spoken with coming back in is a long minute, and that's with 3 or 4 unrelated guys in the truck.
Just find the different perspective's intriguing....
I find the comments about getting a passport 'in case' to be smart planning. One never knows what will happen.
My experience going through the various WA crossings is that it's a PITA coming home to the US... and that the more isolated ones are harder, dunno if it's just boredom and something for them to do or ??? but it's always, for me, harder/longer to get home than to Canada...
Weird I guess...
heheh, and NO sense of humor... as it probably should be I guess..
