Can anyone tell me if you need a passport to fly in and around Canada.
ie could I fly from Ontario to say Saskatchewan without one?

No passport required, though picture ID is necessary.

K thanks for that never thought about it until now.
Our UK passports have expired and don't really fancy having to go into Toronto and pay the ridiculous fees to get new ones.

Going into Toronto wouldnt help much anyway....Ottawa would be the one

I got caught out by this the first time I took an internal flight in Canada.

Checked in OK, but at the gate the boarding lady asked for my ID. I didn't have my passport on me, and didn't yet have a Canadian Driving Licence... I had to fish around in my wallet for any piece of photo ID that I had.

Fortunately I did find an old ID card froma few years back, and even more fortunately, she accepted it.

So no, not a really dumb question - you'll need either your passport or a 'proper' piece of photo ID otherwise you run the risk of being stopped.

wrong again its Washington DC now

Not yet, it isn't. Passports are being physically produced in Washington but applcations are still made via Ottawa For now.

Not for long tho http://ukincanada.fco.gov.uk/en/passports/

I'm never wrong

<cough>


Sorry. Couldn't help it.

But seldom right

I hadn't gone back to edit it yet...you know my style

Ah ok thanks for the heads up Haven't really looked any further into renewing our passports, we kinda stopped when we saw the fees. At least we can travel within Canada have driving license and PR card so we should be ok.

I kinda get the feeling that any non national must hold a current passport does any one know for sure

You're married. You must be wrong one week out of four. Even if you're right.
