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 am always one to error on the side of caution. Having a passport is one of those things. I was looking at what to get a couple years ago, went through the "trouble" of getting a passport and glad I did as it opens up a lot of extra abilities that I may need (flying, tour boat, other countries).
As it was the reason that I was getting a passport was to attend a memorial service for my Dad in the US 10 minutes over the border, after 3 months of getting it (can you say some stupid requirements - I understand some of them but really does it have to be THAT hard?) I arrive at the border and am told that I could have shown up without it and they would have let me through. Nice thing is that I have it and it is done for a couple years and will be easier to get next time.
