Ottawa Advises First Nations to Carry Valid Passports for U.S. Travel

Canada has updated travel advice for First Nations people and Native Americans born in Canada, urging them to carry a valid Canadian passport when traveling to the U.S. due to increased scrutiny at the border. Status cards may not be accepted by U.S. officials, and air travel requires a passport. The Assembly of First Nations and various First Nations have issued advisories citing reports of detentions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, urging caution and recommending additional documents like border crossing letters under the Jay Treaty.
