Wow, reading all this about border crossings just amazes me. As frequent
border crossers, we've never had a problem. All you need is a birth
certificate and your driver's license. It's Canada, not a safari to the
outer regions of Zimbabwe. Sometimes they ask to see your proof of
citizenship, sometimes they don't. Crossing the border via airports is much
more difficult. Jason carries his passport when crossing as it's easier,
but not necessary. I just carry my birth certificate and driver's license.
But you definitely need proof of citizenship, voter's registration cards,
social security, etc. have absolutely no merit (especially at an airport).
So if all you have is your birth certificate then you have no worries.
