Provincial Team Passport Travel Requirement

US law requires all Canadians to present a valid passport to enter the United States by water or land.  Basketball Manitoba has one Provincial Team trip for all teams planned to the US this July as a lead-up to the National Championships in August.  To ensure we have no issues at the border and while in the US, all Manitoba Provincial Team members must have a valid passport with them at all times.  This includes all players, coaches and anyone else travelling with the teams.


Currently, the wait time to process a new passport request is 2 weeks.  To apply for a new passport, you must complete the application form (links below) and return it to a Passport Canada office for processing.  You must also supply two valid passport photos, your birth certificate and possibly other identification to process the application.
