Yeah, I realised that; I was just addressing the part of his issue that I actually know something about. Heh. Should've made that a bit more clear.

I wonder seeing as Detroit and Windsor are practically joined is there any border patrol there? My recommendation remains the same though.

the only way to get it rushed is if i do it in person, which I can't do.

I was under the impression from what I've read online that I don't need a passport to enter canada by land.

I wouldn't know-haven't done it in over 10 years as a child. Has anyone done it? If so is it easy?

If you are a Canadian citizen and if you have a copy of your birth certificate, you Do NOT need a passport to enter Canada. Yet. As of June 1, 2009, you will need a passport for just about everything.

Windsor would be pretty easy. The hardest part would be getting to downtown Detroit from the Airport, about 40 km.

There is a city bus that runs between Downtown Detroit and Windsor. Once you clear customs in Canada, (similar to the Greyhound), you could easily walk the 5 minutes from the customs office to the Passport office as well.
