Well none of us have any criminal records or yadda yadda what so ever.
the only problem is we’re all 17, some 18 but mostly 17 by the time of travel.
We want to go by car since we live in Alaska, and it makes more of an adventure out of it haha.
we were just wondering for the 17 year olds can we get in?
Even if no 18 year olds end up going with us?

you’ll need to get a passport and have id with you

An adult (over 18) traveling with a child (under 18) must have written permission from the parents or guardians of those under 18.
Be sure you have government-issued ID (driver’s license) and proof of citizenship (birth certificates). If you have passports, so much the better, but they are not required if you’re driving.

All the under 18 years old will need a consent letter from both of their parents giving them permission to cross the border into Canada, the letter should be notarized for legal reasons, and include both parents contact into, such as address and phone numbers especially important is the one that they can be reached at during anticipated crossing time. The letter should have where you are going, where you will be staying, with who you are going with, how long you will be gone and when you are going to be back. They may or may not ask for the letter, but you should each have one for the under 18 travelers.
The car that you will be taking if you are not the registered owner you have to get a letter giving permission for that car to be taken out of the country as well as who will be driving it, and make sure you have out of country insurance for the vehicle.
Under 18 you only require original birth certificate, over 18 government issued photo id (drivers license) as well as original birth certificate.
If any of you have passport it would be a great idea to use them as your ID.
Not sure where you are planning on staying, but most hotels in Canada do not rent to under 18 and you usually need to have a major credit card.

The 17 year olds can go as long as each has a notarized letter from his or her parents stating that they have permission to make the trip.

I’d like to mount a campaign to encourage people not to go anywhere. Travel has become so expensive and unpleasant that it’s hard to understand why people don’t stay home.
Why are we crowding our highways and airports to get someplace else? Newspapers and magazines are filled with ads trying to get us to travel. They want us to go somewhere - anywhere but home.
