How to get to Squamish from the USA: From the Canada US border From the Peace Arch Crossing: You are on Highway 99 when you cross the border, but the "highway" ends through the city of Vancouver, after you cross the Oak Street Bridge. There are a few options and there is signage to continue on Highway 99, the easiest being to exit the Oak Street Bridge right onto Marine Drive west (loop around and under the bridge). Marine Drive turns into Granville Street which takes you through about 60 blocks to the Granville Street Bridge. As you cross the Granville Street Bridge into Downtown Vancouver, exit right onto Seymour Street. Follow Seymour through most of Downtown, and turn left on Georgia Street, not to far after Robson Street. Georgia Street will lead you through Stanley Park to the Lions Gate Bridge. As you cross the bridge, stay towards the centre, and you will swing back under the bridge onto Marine Drive. Take the next right (Taylor Way) up the big hill. You will see signage here – Turn left off Taylor Way onto Highway 1 Westbound. Enter the Freeway, and continue west. After 14 km or 9 miles, the Freeway turns into Highway 99. There is construction going on in this area, so watch for the Squamish Whistler signs, which will direct you to either exit #1 or #2. Continue on Highway 99 for about 30 miles. You will see the Sea to Sky Hotel on the right about 3 miles past Downtown Squamish (Cleveland Avenue, a McDonalds and a 7-11) From other border crossings - head straight North until you hit Highway 1, and take Highway 1 (Trans Canada) west. Highway 1 turns into Highway 99 at Horseshoe Bay. There is construction going on in this area, so watch for the Squamish & Whistler signs, which will direct you to either exit #1 or #2. Continue on Highway 99 for about 30 miles. You will see the Sea to Sky Hotel on the right about 3 miles past Downtown Squamish (Cleveland Avenue, a McDonalds and a 7-11). From the Airport: From the Vancouver International Airport, follow the Arthur Laing Bridge to enter Vancouver proper. There are a few options here, including Cambie, Oak, and Granville Streets, all of which will lead you to Downtown Vancouver. The easiest option would be Granville Street, which is signed from the bridge and takes you through about 60 blocks to the Granville Street Bridge. As you cross the Granville Street Bridge into Downtown Vancouver, exit right onto Seymour Street. Follow Seymour through most of Downtown, and turn left on Georgia Street, not to far after Robson Street. Georgia Street will lead you through Stanley Park to the Lions Gate Bridge. As you cross the bridge, stay towards the centre, and you will swing back under the bridge onto Marine Drive. Take the next right (Taylor Way) up the big hill. You will see signage here – Turn left off Taylor Way onto Highway 1 Westbound. Enter the Freeway, and continue west. After 14 km or 9 miles, the Freeway turns into Highway 99. There is construction going on in this area, so watch for the Squamish Whistler signs, which will direct you to either exit #1 or #2. Continue on Highway 99 for about 30 miles. You will see the Sea to Sky Hotel on the right about 3 miles past Downtown Squamish (Cleveland Avenue, a McDonalds and a 7-11).
Passport Requirements for Canada US Travel At the current time, land travellers between Canada and the US do not need passports. (from http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/regional/regional_1170.html) Visas and Travel Documents New Requirements for Travelers Between the United States and the Western Hemisphere: Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that, by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States. This is a change from prior travel requirements. The goal is to strengthen border security and facilitate entry into the United States for U.S. citizens and legitimate foreign visitors. The U.S. passport is the document of choice because of the incorporated advanced security features. Travelers to and from Canada will be required to have a U.S. passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re-enter the United States. For land border crossings to Canada, other documents that we anticipate will be acceptable are NEXUS and FAST program cards. No other document is currently available that will be an acceptable substitute for a U.S. passport, NEXUS or FAST card. However, we are using new technologies to create other acceptable travel documents. We will make public additional travel document options as they become available. The travel initiative requirements will be rolled out in phases. The proposed implementation timeline is as follows: December 31, 2006 – Passport required for all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. - December 31, 2007 – Passport required for all land border crossings, as well as air and sea travel.
Current Requirements for Entry Into Canada Visas are not required for U.S. citizens entering Canada from the U.S. You will, however, need: Proof of your U.S. citizenship such as your U.S. passport (For information on obtaining a U.S. passport, check with one of the regional passport agencies located throughout the U.S.) or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, you should travel with your naturalization certificate. A driver’s license, voter’s registration card or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship. Photo identification, such as a current, valid driver’s license.
All U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport. Alien permanent residents of the U.S. must present their Alien Registration Card, commonly called a “Green Card.” If you are a dual U.S./Canadian citizen you should always present yourself as a Canadian citizen when entering Canada. However, U.S. citizens should use their U.S. passports when entering or leaving the United States. Due to international concern over child abduction, single parents, grandparents, or guardians traveling with children often need proof of custody or notarized letters from the other parent authorizing travel. (This is in addition to proof of citizenship as explained above.) Any person under the age of 18 and traveling alone should carry a letter from his/her parent or guardian authorizing the trip. Travelers without such documentation may experience delays at the port of entry.
