July 17, 2009 - EDL & Passport
Since Canadians are now required to either have an Enhanced Drivers Licence (EDL) or a Passport to cross the border, Geoff and I were forced to get our butts to Ottawa to get one of them. We decided we would try for the EDL. The lady at the Service Ontario counter advised us that the wait was 6 weeks or more, so we had to get our passports. A friend of mine drove 30 minutes from where he lived to come and sign as my guarantor and Geoff had to wait to have one of his friend's sign on the weekend. Takes about 15 days to get your passport if you can pick it up. If you want it by snail mail, you'd better be ready for a LONG wait.
EDL ($40) or Passport (Approximately $97 and up). You will also need passport pictures taken. Prices vary depending on where you get them. It was approximately $45 for Geoff and I at Black's Photography.
