Re: Traveling as a Canadian without a Canadian Passport

There's always one arsehole who ignores most of the original post to try and prove a point that's totally irrelevant and not worth proving. Well done. I can only imagine what you're like to work...

Re: US starts charging entry fee to British travellers ???

Hmm. I have a valid I94W in my passport right now, and am flying to the US next month.

Re: CIC Citizenship timelines

Thanks for the update. It seems they're taking 4 weeks to get through 2 weeks worth of applications. This isn't good. I guess that's just down to the summer hols though.
