I"m a Canadian who overstayed my visit in the U.S. I'm leaving seattle to vancouver via amtrak. When I entered I came in on my birth certificate and they just flagged me through. but I'm returning home with my passport as I forgot it on my way to the U.S. Will I have trouble at the train station.

No. Leave.

Why would Canada give you a problem for going home?

Canada does not require a passport to enter the country. If you are flying from an international airport into Canada then Transport Canada requires a Passport to board the plane. If you are going by land there will be no problem.

I'm Canadian, does the Canadian border know when I entered the u.s. I overstayed and want to go home by train. What will happen ?

[Reba]

Nothing will happen. Canada doesn't care if you overstayed in the US. Only the US will care.

How will the u.s know I overstayed?? Does canada know when i entered??

The US will know you have overstayed IF you try to go back anytime soon.

Canada doesn't care.
