Problem is megachops does not have a passport. Have you looked in to getting a fast tracked or emergency passport? Check at the embassy.

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.

Nope. According to their website for Canadians living abroad

the new rule does not apply they must be of the desired professions. It was a good idea 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.
