Currently, these travellers are required only to satisfy a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer of their identity (with photo identification such as a driver’s licence) and citizenship (with a birth certificate, citizenship certificate or passport) in order to enter the United States.
Les exigences de l’IVHO diffèrent des politiques américaines actuelles, qui libèrent de l’exigence américaine de visa ou de passeport les citoyens canadiens qui arrivent aux États-Unis de n’importe quel pays de l’hémisphère occidental (sauf Cuba), conformément à la Immigration and Nationality Act (al. 212(a)(7)).
