I want to share my experience with my passport at the Canadian boarder for my Spring Break at Niagara Falls. The night before leaving for our trip, I found everyone's passport but mine. Clearly I lost my passport. I was very close to just skip the trip and let my husband take the kids... however, I decided to take a chance with my expired passports, plenty of legal documents and everything you could image. I even tried to get a an expedited (one-day) passport at Buffalo NY, but I did not find availability, so I wanted to give it a shot at the boarder. I explained my situation at the boarder (very upfront with the agent) and his answer surprised me! The agent told me that I could use my expired passport through the land boarders with no issues. OMG, I have never heard that one before!!! Then I thought that I would have issues coming back to the USA, and to my surprise, then again, I did not have any issues at all.
So apparently you can go through the land boarder in and out between Canada and USA with an expired passport!!!! Who knew that? I did NOT know that at all!!!
Of course, I already cancelled my old passport and ordered a new one and ready for my next trip!
