Canadian PRIDE!
US Permanent Resident, Travelling to Canada
According to the US Department of State, all I need to travel to Canada is my greencard as proof of permanent residency, at least until December 31, 2006.
December 31, 2005 – Passport or other accepted document required for all travel (air/sea) to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
December 31, 2006 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
December 31, 2007 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air, sea and land border crossings.
On the other hand, if you are travelling abroad for a long period of time, you need a re-entry permit anyway:
Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders) use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after travel of one year or more. For LPR’s returning to the U.S., re-entry permits are generally valid for two years from the date of issuance of the re-entry permit. The LPR should apply for this benefit before leaving the U.S.
Canada goes after homeless
Having solved every other problem, the RCMP in British Columbia have decided to go after the shopping carts that the province’s homeless use to carry their belongings. Indignant homeless people complain that the police are robbing them of their livelihood: actually, police only restoring stolen property.
