Dear Joel,

As a Canadian traveler wishing to holiday somewhere in the Caribbean, or any warmer climate, what am I limited to without a current passport?

Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,

As a Canadian citizen without a passport, desiring a warm climate to travel to this winter, you are limited to the U.S., the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. You will need a birth certificate or a proof of citizenship and valid photo identification such as a driver license. However, beware that with the heightened security concern these days, lacking a passport, you might have to be a little more patient with customs officials.

Have a good time.
Joel
