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?

2x getting the Nexus card. If you cross the border between Canada and the US, you will find a special lane at 20 border crossings. Crossings that have nexus lanes can be found on the web
Peace Arch in WA, definitely want the nexus lane on the right
All occupants will need their own Nexus card to use this service
Even at the smaller border crossing without a special lane, minimal questioning.
If flying back into Canada or the US, there are special Nexus kiosks at the select major airport and can self check through immigration.
If flying out, the nexus card allows you to use the TSA preferred lines and most times don't have to take off your coat, shoes, nor remove your laptop.
If boating across the border, a call to customs for either side allows you to continue without having to dock or get inspected.
Like all preferred traveler programs they still can do random checks, so it is always good to be flexible.
