:x Oh hell, that's not good. Is there any way to get a quick replacement?

1. When do you leave?

2. Who in VA did you send the box to?

1. Saturday
2. my future roommates, though the person who's been picking up the boxes is my roommate's boyfriend. I've already made 2 phone calls.

Just keep calling an e-mailing. That's way too quick a turn-around to get a replacement the normal way. I don't know how it works if you claim the passport was stolen, if that could get a new one faster, but...yeah, overnight shipping from VA is definitely your best bet.

Also, do you go directly to Canada, or are you staying overnight in Washington first? Maybe you could give yourself some extra time if you had them mail it to you there.

no worries, I'm 99% sure they'll let you through. this happened to me when I went...well, more like my friend realized too late that her passport had expired. She brought a copy of her birth certificate and we had no probs (though going into Canada, the lady asked us weirdo questions but it wasn't bad)

I did make a lot of calls to the US Border patrol and the Canadian side beforehand though, you may want to do that just in case.

Border patrol or passport office?

Getting into Canada not a problem. Getting back out on the other hand
