    Thinking about signing on to a company that does not require, but recommends that one has a passport to go to Canada. Thoughts?

    If you CAN go to Canada, you are a better prospect than someone who can not. Its that simple. Same with Hazmat etc etc etc.

    If it helps to get you the job, then get the passport card.

    and if they send you, it won't be far, like a few hours from the border. Nothing to traumatise you.

    Get a passport or pass card and its not that tough. A good GPS and your Atlas will guide you where to go. It makes you more valuable to that company and other companies if you can go. Enjoy the adventure and dont be a wimp like others.

    I rather like running in Canada. Excellent food everywhere I've been, and All Dressed potato chips are the reason the potato was invented.
