Do you need a passport to walk across to Canada?
Canadian law requires proof of citizenship and identity for entry into the country. U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card is required for entry into the United States.

If you do not have a valid Canadian passport or a passport from a country that is not a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the European Union (EU), you may be able to obtain a temporary resident permit (TRP) from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
TRP is valid for 90 days, and can be renewed for another 90-day period. You may also be eligible for an H-1B visa, which allows you to work for up to 180 days in a given year. For more information, please visit the DHS website at www.dhs.gov.
