Anyone who is on the wait list for an EDL might want to call back and re-inquire. I just called and they had a few open appointments this Friday.
I don’t know if they’re just getting through the applications faster or if they’ve had some cancellations but I thought I’d throw this out here in case it’s useful to anybody.
If you get an enhanced license, you can use it to get back into the US from Canada. But I don’t see anything on the site saying it works to get into Canada, so a passport would be needed.
