The EDL and EIC are:
*A passport or other approved document is required to travel to the U.S. by air and to travel to other countries.
Before you apply for a Manitoba EDL or EIC, it is important that you read this Guide so that you understand, and are comfortable with, the application process, the questions you will be asked and how your personal information will be used and shared with Canadian and U.S. authorities.
The EDL and EIC are voluntary. There are a number of options available to you if you want to travel to the United States (U.S.) by land or water. New document requirements for travel into the U.S. by land and water took effect on June 1, 2009. A Canadian passport or other approved document is still needed for air travel to the U.S. (and to other countries) under the new requirements. For more information about acceptable travel documents, visit the Canada Border Services Agency website at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca.
