I would generally agree that this is the right way to go, but given that OP is in Canada simply going through the land border would be a lot easier and faster.

@JonathanReez I'm not from Canada or US so I don't know how it works over there, but can you cross the border without any ID? I know they can't possibly check everyone, but still, isn't it actually required?

@ChatterOne if you are a US citizen you can cross the border, but the delay (holding time by CBP) will be proportional to how much evidence you cannot present. If you have absolutely nothing then it would be a huge deal and they will need many hours or even days to verify you. If you have scanned/photo copies then it would easier for them.

@ChatterOne They actually do check everyone, but given the story of having lost the passport, the evidence of the flight home that was abandoned, and whatever US ID the person might still have, it may well still be possible to cross. The officer merely needs to be satisfied the person has a right to enter (or if no right, that the person won't be a problem).

@JimMacKenzie there's no way in the current climate that someone without a right of entry (that is, someone who is not a US citizen) is going to be let in without acceptable documents.
