04:15 am - passport?
I'm an American married to a canadian and I'm about to fill out the PR application of "Spouse or Common-law partner in canada class." What I am wondering is, do I need to have a passport for this application?

I know I will have to have one eventually. But what I need to know is, do I need one right now for this particular application. I noticed that there is one place where it asks for your passport number, but it also lets you check an "other" if you are a U.S. citizen who entered without a passport.
