My husband is a dual-citizen for Canada and the US.?
Anonymous, which in my humble opinion is a silly name for the CIA, is right. America does not recognize dual citizenship. As a matter of fact, dont bring up the Canadian citizenship angle with them. When entering the United States, he is an American and nothing else. Hence, he needs proof of his citizenship. To get work in the States, he needs his social security number. Its like the SIN number. Both have nine numbers, interesting. Without that SSN number, hell have problems. If you dont have one, go here The United States Social Security Administration I picked this off the internet for you. Passport Recent changes in U.S. law require people to present a passport when entering or reentering the U.S. from Canada by car unless they have other appropriate documentation. Canadian law also requires a passport or appropriate documentation when entering Canada from the U.S. by car. WHTI According to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), all persons entering or reentering the U.S. from Canada by car must have a passport or one of the following WHTI compliant documents. These documents are Trusted Travelers Cards such as Nexus; state-issued enhanced drivers licenses, Enhanced Tribal Orders, U.S. military ID with travel orders, U.S. Merchant Mariner Document when traveling on official maritime business, Native American Tribal Photo ID card or Form I-872 American Indian Card. Canada Canadian law requires all persons entering Canada from the U.S. by car present proof of citizenship and identity. A passport fulfills both of these requirements for U.S. citizens. A U.S. citizen can also use his Nexus card to fulfill both of these requirements. In lieu of a passport or Nexus card, a U.S. citizen must provide a government-issued photo ID such as a drivers license and proof of U.S. citizenship such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate. However, be warned that if you go to Canada by car with your drivers license and birth certificate but no passport you will not be able to re-enter the U.S. with these documents. Anytime you travel out of the U.S., obtain a passport unless you have a Trusted Travelers Card such as Nexus or other WHTI -approved documents. Citizens of other countries traveling between the U.S. and Canada by car need proof of citizenship from their country and proof of identity. A passport from his country or a WHTI-compliant document will satisfy the border requirements for both the U.S. and Canada.
