Takes about one month to get it mailed to the US but it's 100% free, just received mine today. Thank you Canada! and Happy Birthday to all Canadians, 150 years is an achievement, I remember our bicentennial not that long ago. Dang did I just say that, 40 years ago is not long? Not!

Ordered two of them a couple of weeks ago. The free pass had nothing to do with our planned trip to Banff and Icefields Parkway, but a nice easter egg to discover. From what I've read the Canadian parks are bracing themselves this year for anticipated increase in crowd size.

I ordered the free 2017 pass a couple weeks ago, not sure if I will make to Canada this year but very nice to have just in case ! Very cool and generous offer by Canada !

We got ours as soon as they were available. Going for a month in June camping at Banff, Jasper and then Kootenay parks. No S10 though trailer camping and no way to haul it along.

Thanks for the link. Ordered mine. Can't beat the price!!! Looking forward to riding from Seattle up to the Canadian Rockies right after the crowds depart after Labor Day.

I ordered mine at the beginning of November. Haven't seen it yet.

Mine arrived this week. Probably took about 6 weeks.

Wow wee...Banff is 1.5 hrs away from me and I have not got one yet. Best get to it.

If any of you guys/gals are in the Southern Alberta area, hit me up. I can provide you with some sight seeing tips.
With the free pass, Banff and Lake louise will be a complete gong. It's busy enough when they charge for passes, but this will be insane.

Plan your trip into the park mid week!! Never ever on the weekend, as you will not be able to drive/ride up to the destination.

Also keep in mind that driving through the park is free. Say if youre driving from Calgary to Golden, you have to driver through the park. Only when you hang a left to Banff or Lake louise you need to display the pass.

It's a beautiful place.
The below is about 1hr south of Calgary. I ride this road often to cut through to BC via gravel. Also some great off roading in this area

Ordered mine two days after you & got mine two days before you, weird. Looking forward to putting the pass to use!

Ordered my pass Jan 23 but haven't seen it yet. Will keep my eyes peeled so it doesn't end up in the junk mail basket. Planning trip to Banff and Jasper late this summer.

Still haven't received mine. Is 7 months a long time to wait?

You got lost. It took maybe a week for mine.

I got mine in about 2-3 months. I applied in January or early Feb and received it early April.
