Question: I'm Canadian - do I need a passport to travel to Mexico?
The U.S. Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
is phasing in passport requirements for travel between the U.S., Canada
and Mexico. How does this affect Canadians planning to travel to
Mexico?
Answer: As of March 1st, 2010, all Canadian citizens need a valid passport to enter Mexico. Canadian citizens without a valid passport will not be allowed entry into Mexico and will be returned to Canada.
Canadian permanent residents need to present a Resident Card, Certificate of Identity, or Refugee Travel Document. Airlines may refuse to allow boarding to travelers who do not carry sufficient identification.
A passport is the best form of international identification and having one can help prevent hassles! Here is the official take on the matter from Passport Canada's Web Site.
