- http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_831.html - i doubt though that you may be able to get it for this weekend, especially since they are minors and first passport. but also for some reason i am still under the impression that passports are preferred, but still not necessary for enter to canada, but i could be wrong though

- Unless there are newer regs for US citizens entering Canada, birth certificates are adequate. Call the US State Dept and the Canadian Consulate. We flew to Toronto last spring and that was adequate for our minor child.

  - The AMERICAN rules are that if you're entering the US by air, you need a passport. This includes kids. So, if you're flying to Canada, you MUST have passports to get home.
