US Permanent Resident, Travelling to Canada
According to the US Department of State, all I need to travel to Canada is my greencard as proof of permanent residency, at least until December 31, 2006.
December 31, 2005 - Passport or other accepted document required for all travel (air/sea) to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
December 31, 2006 - Passport or other accepted document required for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
December 31, 2007 - Passport or other accepted document required for all air, sea and land border crossings.
On the other hand, if you are travelling abroad for a long period of time, you need a re-entry permit anyway:
Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders) use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after travel of one year or more. For LPR’s returning to the U.S., re-entry permits are generally valid for two years from the date of issuance of the re-entry permit. The LPR should apply for this benefit before leaving the U.S.
