What travel documents does an International student need to travel within Canada?

Posted by on December 15, 2009

Hi,
I am an International student in Toronto and would like to fly to Vancouver for a couple weeks. I wanted to know if my passport is sufficient ID for me to travel on. I received an extension on my study permit but have lost it. Will that be a problem?

Thank you very much.

Well, you should replace your documentation for your study permit but to travel within Canada you will probably not need it. To fly within Canada you have to be able to prove who you are which, under Transport Canada regulations, you must have a valid piece of government issued photo ID which a passport is. For a complete list you can check the Transport Canada website (link below)

    In Canada? You don’t even need a passport, as long as you have some kind of photo ID. You aren’t crossing any international borders and there are no checkpoints between the provinces and territories.

    For a flight within the country, any government photo ID is enough; your passport is more than enough. They don`t check residency status for a domestic flight.

    Talk to your travel agent. Use a member of the American Travel Society. If you belong to the AAA talk to them. Talk to your household insurance broker. One thing read the policy very carefully and ask questions to be certain it covers exactly what you want Have a nice trip
