Ottawa has updated its travel recommendations for the United States, advising all First Nations people to carry both a passport and a status card when crossing the border.
First Nations people in the past could “freely” cross into the United States for employment, study, retirement, investing, or immigration with a status card, but the federal government is now warning that may no longer be enough to guarantee entry.
