Non-Canadians
When you enter Canada, a CBSA officer may ask to see your passport and a valid visa, if one is necessary. If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as photo identification. If you are a permanent resident of Canada or the U.S, you should bring your Permanent Resident Card with you

"In this time of heightened security, all transportation workers need to become informed about the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC™). You will need a TWIC™ to gain unescorted access to secure areas of Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) regulated facilities and vessels."
Our passports expire in November, just sent in our applications for Nexus cards. $50 for 5 years is better than the passport. We only travel to the US, so we don't really need passports to go anywhere else.
