Returning home for a visit

Dave, your license has nothing to do with it. When you live somewhere else, you HAVE to get a license from that state, province or country. In 2 months I will have a new jersey license and my Ontario one will be invalid. That doesn't mean they will think that is strange. Thousands of people cross the border every day in that same situation. Having a passport always helps. It's too bad you won't have one just yet. But your Canadian birth certificate still proves you are Canadian.
