^I think they'll eventually phase out the old ones probably within the next few years so you don't have to wait that long.

Really? So can the rest of us get this card and use it when we go to the States instead of using a passport?

That depends. Are you born here or not. If not, you should had it right after you were sworn in as Canadian citizen.

Have you ever seen one of these cards? I own one, well a landed immigrant card and they are certainly not that cheap. All the holigrams on it, the braille and all the information that is incoded all over it relating to all your personal information. I would think that it would be harder to copy than just thick paper, putting a picture on it and laminating it.

For the landed immigrant card, I have to use my british passport to get into the states or anywhere else in the world... But if i come back into Canada then I have to use the card...
