Ottawa lies in northeast North America, in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It is bordered by the Ottawa River to the north, while the historic Rideau River and Rideau Canal meander north to south through the city. Directly across the Ottawa River are the City of Gatineau and the picturesque Outaouais region in the Province of Qubec.
You do not need your passport if you travel inside of Canada. People often carry two pieces of identification with them. The most common form of identification is a driver's license. It is not required that you carry all your identification with you, but two pieces are often helpful. You must have a social insurance number (SIN).
