Hi Folks,

Can anybody help me on this simple question?

What is the maximal period of time for a Canadian to legally stay in
the US with only his/her citizenship card (no passport, no visa) if
he/she cross the border by personal vehicle?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Rather than accept advise from complete strangers on a legal
matter, you can get the same advise from an authority on the
matter simply by contacting the nearest American embassy or
consol to you.

:The maximum stay in Canada is 6 months.

For a Canadian?

While I might agree that anyone who stays in Canada longer is nuts, I
wasn't
aware that their government enforced such a policy.

Whooooops ! I can't read! Guess I've been in Canada to long. :c)

Sure we do. My wife has one. Native born Canadians aren't eligible to
apply for them, they're only for naturalized citizens.

Also wrong.

Hmmm, I stand corrected. Has this always been the case? I've never
heard of a native-born Canadian who actually has one.

I guess native-born Canadians really don't have much use for them, since
most already have a provincially-issued photo ID plus a birth
certificate, which are just as good.
