On June 30th - July 1st, 2012, a new tournament was born. This tournament brought several unique experiences to the community! The biggest one being the out of country experience. A lot of Americans showed their support and came across the border. In fact for a few, it was their first time ever in Canada. Due to a lot of positive feedback, yet another team was put together in order to redeliver this experience. And with that, IMPULSE 2013 approaches!

1. Americans can get passports very easily. Go to your local post office and apply for them. They will give you all the instructions on what to do, and some people get their passports within 2 weeks! Getting one costs $135 USD for anyone 16+ ($110 USD to renew), or $105 USD for anyone under 16.
2. A possible alternative for Americans is an enhanced drivers license which is cheaper than a passport, and quicker to obtain. The enhanced license lets you travel to Canada, and some other countries (though not as many as a passport).
3. US Passport Card:http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppt_card/ppt_card_3926.html
Please note that as of June 1, 2009 visitors to Canada from the United States will be required to show:
1) If you are crossing the border by land or sea: a valid US passport, a US passport card, or an enhanced driver's license.
2) If you are flying: a valid US passport ONLY

There are several different modes of transportation that end up in Toronto.
DRIVING
This can sometimes be the most convenient mode of transportation since you are in full control. You leave when you want, you take breaks when you want, and you take any route you want.
BUSSING
Bussing is a very popular mode of transportation for people looking for a cheap way to reach tournaments in other cities. Here are several bus companies which provide both domestic and international routes.
Canadian Megabus site: ca.megabus.com
American Megabus site: us.megabus.com
Canadian Greyhound site: greyhound.ca
American Greyhound site: greyhound.com
The bus terminal where you will end up is the Toronto Coach Terminal.
Toronto Coach Terminal
610 Bay Street Toronto
Ontario, Canada M5G 1M5
FLYING
If you are flying from within Canada or anywhere that's not the United States, the best airport for you to land in is the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
Toronto Pearson International Airport
6301 Silver Dart Drive, Mississauga
Ontario, Canada L4V 1E8
If you are flying from the United States and you want to save money, I strongly recommend that you fly to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Buffalo Niagara International Airport
4200 Genesee Street, Cheektowaga
New York, United States
Then bus it via Megabus the rest of the way. The trip from Buffalo to Toronto is about 2-3 hours, and it will end up being much cheaper than flying straight into Canada.
