Can I enter Canada with orders if I’m ETSing from Alaska? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-i-enter-canada-with-orders-if-i-m-etsing-from-alaska <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Currently about to be medically retired in Alaska and am looking to drive through Canada back to the lower 48. I don’t have a passport and may not be able to get one in time for my travels. The Canadian border agency’s website says that orders can be used with valid military ID but I won’t have any ID since I’ll be out of the military. Leadership says that ETS orders will be enough without having ID but haven’t seen anything about that online. Any help would be appreciated Mon, 27 Jan 2020 13:59:32 -0500 Can I enter Canada with orders if I’m ETSing from Alaska? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-i-enter-canada-with-orders-if-i-m-etsing-from-alaska <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Currently about to be medically retired in Alaska and am looking to drive through Canada back to the lower 48.

You still have it on terminal leave.

Better to get it from them than anyone else!!

This should cover you when driving. SSG Brian G.

Wainwright, AK. Once in 2016 and again January 2019. As long as you have military orders and a valid picture ID you’ll be just fine.
