As of January 23, 2007, the United States' Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) will require Canadian citizens to present one of the following documents when entering or transiting the United States by air:
A valid Canadian passport;
A NEXUS Air card when used at a NEXUS Air kiosk
Canadians entering or transiting the United States by air without the required documentation will likely be referred for secondary screening, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers will evaluate any evidence of citizenship and identity. As a result, Canadians without the required documentation may be prevented from boarding their flights. Travellers should obtain the appropriate required documentation before leaving Canada.
A good reminder for all (esp.. desis) who are citizens of Canada but did not obtain passports yet...
go get your passports ( do not forget PIO / OCI cards as well )
