You MUST have a valid passport to travel to Canada, and it should not expire within six months of your travel date. If you need a new or renewed passport, start the process early as it can be lengthy. For more information, visit this link.
Flights should be booked to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
Direct flights:
American Airlines, United Airlines, and Air Canada offer direct flights from Dallas (DFW) to Toronto (YYZ). Prices may increase closer to the date, so book early!
Other options:
You are able to fly to Buffalo/Niagara (BUF). From Buffalo, it's a 2-hour drive to Toronto. Alternatively, there's a train from Niagara/Buffalo to Toronto, but it takes over four hours. Both options require a passport.
If you have questions, please ask Kaleb!
