If someone wants to go but does not have a passport for
whatever reason, i.e. last minute travel plans, then it
is possible to fly to Buffalo NY and make a land crossing
from there, i.e. bus or rental car. If you do want to take
a rental car across the border, you have to notify your
rental company so they can issue a non-resident insurance
card for you. As long as you have a US driver's licence this
is fairly routine. Cross the bridge to Canada and take
the QEW all the way to Toronto.

You could do the same fly-drive via Detroit but there is
a lot more driving.

P.S. Now that you have your shiny new passports, don't
just stop at Canada. There's a whole world out there.
