Does a Canadian require a Visa to enter the U.S? If they are a permenant resident of Canada, and hold a valid Canadian passport do they need to enter into any Visa waiver program? please help.

    Hi Carol,

    It's really complicated.... and the web site is even more complicated, but go here www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/home.xml
    and you should find your answer, eventually! :))

    Cheers,

    Carol,

    You may want to check, but I can not imagine that as a Canadian you need a visa to enter the United States. I am a U. S. citizen and have traveled many times to Canada and have never needed a visa. I would believe that it should work both ways. I know that in recent years I have needed a passport but that is all.

    Hello Carol,

    I do not believe a visa is necessary. I believe just a Canadian passport will do. Here are a couple of additional websites that may help you.

    Hope this helps,

    No, you don't need a visa, but you'll need a passport, and be able to meet additional criteria.

    Canadian citizens do not require a visa to enter the United States directly from Canada for the purposes of visiting or studying.

    She didn't say she was a Canadian citizen, she said she is a "permanent resident" of Canada. Those are two different things. Still, I would doubt you need a visa, but you better check.
