I know this has been asked but google has defeated me. Friends are travelling end of month, with daughter, looking to cross and fly from BUF. What doc does the daughter require, she is 5 years.

Proof of Canadian residency and citizenship is required for all travellers crossing the border between Canada and the United States. Doesn't matter the age.

A birth certificate will do the job. Never had an issue with our DS.
