Canadian Meetup Thread, eh? - Updated! -

yeah well thats the way we roll and seriously who doesn't want to be kidnapped and then find themselves somewhere exciting and new ? i know not one person doesn't want that right? but i think Canada might be somewhat of a challenge ...

North York is about a 30 - 40 minute subway ride from where you want to be. (Subway costs 2.75$)

There's the "Residence College Hotel" on College and Gerrard.

There is, but I didn't add a bracket to my img html so it was html'd out - sorry! :S :S :S

I was pretty sure I was going, but my father cut us off everything, including child support, so I really don't think I can. If not for the school having paid internets like this, I probably couldnt have posted this.
Which sucks.
But if we plan it next year, I am going to Uni of Toronto, so maybe I can force you all to do it all again =3

I might actually try and make it to this :eek: As in I think it will work. I will have to double check, but if anyone needs help getting there or whatever, I drive all the way across Wisconsin and so on to get there. I could use a damned road trip.

you so have to come now...if you don't i'll be disappointed. it's my birthday too so we have to get wasted and stuff

do you need passports to get from the US to canada or does that only take affect in 2008?

It's really too bad I can't make it this year. It sounds like the meeting is shaping up really well, especially for a first.

it's in debate at the moment, but i'm pretty sure you need one.

also, if you came all the way to the border, it'd probably be best just to have it anyway (not knowing what part of NY you live in)

I think you don't need one if you drive from the U.S. to Canada, but you definitively need one now to buy bus/train/plane tickets.

i googled it"google magic my friends" it said not until 2008 will i need it but i will need my birth certificate and drivers license. as long as im driving. if i were to fly id need a passport but good thing im form new york so ist nto that far. but i do live in the tri state area so 5 hour drive here i come :p but who doesnt love advenutres.

my conclusion

google solves all proplems.

Entering the USA by land and sea does not require a passport, entering by air does. By 2008 all modes of entering the USA will require a passport. In other words, you do not need a passport to go into Canada, you just need one to go home, if you are an American that is.
