Passport from US to Canada

[Chrissy3]

Next summer, I may be taking a trip to Toronto, Canada from New York. The trip will be short (only two or three days at the most) because I am only going to see a concert. I am taking a ferry from Rochester to Toronto. I've never traveled out of the country before. Will I need a passport, even though this will be a short stay? Also, I am 16 years old. I will be traveling with an adult, but no one related to me. Could this cause a problem?

Thank you for your answer! I will check out that site. I plan on going to Toronto to see Hanson when they play there again. =) I've met many of their Canadian fans and I think they're awesome, so I'd really love to see Hanson perform there.

I've checked this with friends on both sides of the border, you do not need a passport but you will need plenty of other ID such as birth certificate, proof of residence etc and you may still get delayed. Their advice was to get a passport

You definetly will need a passport for both countries and you must also check out if you need a visa. Do this sooner rather than later at these things take time.
