I heard that as of Jan 1st of this year, you can't re-enter Canada unless you have some special Canadian travel ID card that goes along with your passport...
anyone know any details about this?

Yeah, i was about to not leave to Italy because of that. But then the consulate reassured me i have until the end of February. I think it applies only to those holding certain passports like EU country passports.

yes the ID card is for non-canadian citizens who are permenant residents / landed immigrants.
Foriegn nationals here visiting do not need an ID card, foreign nationals from most western EU countries do not need a visa to travel within Canada. Where as from most other countries they will need a Visa stamp on their passport.
