I've had clients ask whether a passport is truly needed to travel to Jamaica, the short answer is no, it's not needed HOWEVER, an increasing number of airlines in Jamaica are refusing to board Canadian Passengers returning to Canada.  Don't be cought with your pants down!!  Speak to a reputable Travel Agent to discuss your options before travel.

Taken from voyage.gc.ca:

"While Jamaican immigration rules state that Canadians are only required to be in possession of valid official photo identification (such as a driver's licence) and proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate) for travel to Jamaica, an increasing number of airlines in Jamaica are refusing boarding to Canadian passengers returning to Canada who are only in possession of these documents. Airlines have the right to refuse boarding to any passenger if they are not satisfied with the validity of the travel documents presented, regardless of the country's immigration entry rules. In order to avoid delays and other problems that may hinder their return to Canada, Canadian citizens are strongly advised to obtain a Canadian passport prior to initiating international travel and to carry it for all visits outside Canada."
