Do you have PR now?

You can certainly try applying now. It can be more difficult to get another US visa approved in cases where an individual entered Canada from the US at an unofficial crossing.

You can definitely try applying and see what happens. You'll want to provide evidence of ties to Canada.

If this application ends in refusal, then wait until you have PR and have established additional ties to Canada before reapplying.

Good luck.

You know my concern is about me entering in an official port of entry not about my tie to Canada. Do you know someone who passed same situation?

As long as you can get the right US visa approved, there should be no issue entering the US. Make sure you apply for the right visa based on the intended purpose for your travel to or through the US.

Yes, there are some discussions in this section of the forum related to applying for a US visa after a refugee claim. I think most of these are probably dealing with B1/B2 visas however. Some people have been successful and some haven't.

Sorry in my previous chat i want to say in unofficial port of entry and CBS has no info about me leaving the USA without overstaying my VISA. I used to have C1/D and B1/B2 before.
what are the title of the discussion concerning this?
thank you very much

Canada and the US share immigration information. The US will know when you left and the fact you made a refugee claim here.

Look for discussions that have the topic "US visa" or something like that. You may have to go back several pages to find them.

Don't worry. As Scylla mentioned, you can try now and see if you get approved. If not, you’ll have a good chance with PR. I was on an F1 student visa as well and came to Canada illegally via Roxham Road. My B1/B2 visa was approved on the second attempt. The first attempt was with an A** Hol* officer who refused it, but I applied again after two months and ended up in the queue with the same officer. He couldn’t take my interview because he had previously refused me, so I went to another counter, and it was approved. I also traveled to the U.S. on that visa in September 2023 and was very worried, but nobody seemed to care at all—the immigration process was incredibly smooth.

At which consulate did you apply for your visa? I’m not applying for a visa but wanted to know. Mine got refused at the Ottawa Embassy
