Queen Prawn Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Anyone know where a good place to go online for prices on flights to Ottawa, Ontario? Also, do I have to have a passport or would anyone know where I would have to look to find out what I need to get into Canada and then be able to return?

You don't need a passport, just a birth certificate and a photo ID. Try any of the following: priceline, orbitz, travelocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I get a replacement birth cert? My mom lost mine about 6 years ago... I've tried those and have a hard time finding a flight to Ottawa. I'll try again - last time I tried was about a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to the actual town you were born in, they'll have it on file at city hall. I found flights to Nova Scotia, so I can't see how it would be harder to find some to Ottawa. Maybe try AirCanada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Hall in Chicago...ugh....I hate that place. Maybe ma found it by now...wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ma found it by now...wishful thinking. Are you sure you were physically born in Chicago? I ask because I always thought because my parents lived in Chicago, that was the city of record for my birth. However, because the actual hospital where my mom pushed me out was in Evergreen Park, I had to go to E.P. to get my birth certificate. You might have to do a connecting flight--Ottawa probably does not have an International Airport. Stay the hell away from the Montreal airport though. Place sucks donkey balls.

I was born in Palos Heights.. had to go to the basement of the Daily Center (where the records of birth are) and get a copy. Not even PHCH could provide me with one. You got lucky!!

I was born at Christ (Oak Lawn). Just found a bunch of Ottawa flights on Travelocity - thanks! This is my first vacation using an airplane since I was 3! Ottawa has an airport (YAW or something like that) , they had direct flights from both Midway and O'Hare and some connecting flights as well. Thanks again! Anyone from Canada - is there anything that is must see in Ottawa - it looks like we will have a Friday to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to get one in 2001 and I was sent downtown because the hospital no longer had the hard copy records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO, the hospital won't have it, the city hall will. Fano'14 has to head over to the Oak LAwn village hall (on 52nd avenue, I believe), they should have it there.

Not from Canada but Ottawa has a winter carnival sometime in the winter--if that's when you're going. I would check to see if that's going on. Otherwise it's a gorgeous city!!!!

Soxy Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 oh yeah, that's big time, ya know? Now, dotcha know it, I do. Actually, though, it looked so beautiful for the winter carnival--I've only been to canada in the Summer, but I saw my friends pictures--and wow. Ottawa is beautiful! And Montreal is really nice too. Let's face it, Canada is just a wonderful place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Everytime I go to Canada, I just take my drivers license. We don't fly though, so I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were originally going to drive, but he changed his mind for the time being. It was strange that he changed his mind since he has a fear of flying (this confuses me considering how many times he has flown before ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 This might not be the place, but dang Fan, what happened to those Sens last night here in Dallas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 This might not be the place, but dang Fan, what happened to those Sens last night here in Dallas? They choked in a big way! And to think that the Canes (GO CANES! ) opened the door to first place for them as well. Lalime has been off all year - not as good as he had been the last few years.

Mathew Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 If I can enter your country with a birth certificate and picture I.D. it has to be at least as easy to get into ours. Ottawa is nice but a tad pricey for my tastes. There had better be flights in being our capital and all. I really liked the museum of Civilization and I enjoyed the tour of the parliment but I had our MP tour me and got my picture taken with the Prime Minister. In the winter there is always stuff going on with the Rideau Canal. The Sens are about 40 minutes out of Ottawa which is a pain in the ass for most visitors. There is an abudance of women there given the nature of the civil service, but that won't help you much I gather. That's all I can think of off hand, but not bad for someone who live 3 days drive further away than most of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
