Canadian-American Dual citizen going to canada w/o canadian passport?!

<p>I am going to go to school/University in canada. I grew up in America and live in America.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I just found out that I got off a waiting list last week.</p>

<p>I have less than 2 weeks to get everything in order.</p>

<p>Moreover, even though I am a canadian citizen, I do not have a canadian certificate of citizenship as my father lost it. Also, my canadian passport is expired as My father never bothered to renew it. Worse off, I do not have any other documentation such as birth certificate, etc. My father also never bothered to get me a canadian social insurance number and he locked all these documents in a file cabinet preventing my access to them and then lost half of them somehow.</p>

<p>I only hold an american passport and an expired canadian passport. I am going to school in Ontario.</p>

<p>SInce I am dual, but don’t have any canadian proof, what should I do?</p>

<p>Can I enter with my American passport? HOw long will I have. Once I am in canada i will apply to get my canadian documents ready.</p>

<p>what should I do?</p>

<p>Also, does anybody know how to get from Arizona to Kingston, Ontario? Kingston is a small city of pop <100,000 three hours north of Toronto.</p>

<p>There’s no airport there and I will not be bringing a car into canada!</p>

<p>You can certainly get into Canada with your US passport. I would go online and find out how to renew your Canadian passport. The old passport is probably all the proof you need in order to get a new one. You need to go to the passport site and do some research. </p>

<p>As for getting to Kingston, go to the Queen’s University Guide to Kingston. It gives a lot of information.</p>

<p>If you can’t prove Canadian citizenship, you’re going to need a study permit. Contact Queens and inquire as to how to go about this or look here:</p>

<p>Re: getting a new passport. You are going to need proof of citizenship and a birth certificate.</p>

<p>You, or your parents, should really have looked into this months ago.</p>

<p>You will have to fly to Toronto and travel to Kingston from there. It is three hours east of Toronto, not north. Will a parent be flying with you to arrange a rental car?</p>
