The scenario I am inquiring about is as follows:
A person holds a valid U.S. visa in their passport from their home country.
This individual then applies for asylum in Canada and is granted permanent resident status (PR) through the Canadian asylum process.

My question is: Does applying for asylum in Canada automatically lead to the cancellation or invalidation of the U.S. visa in the person’s passport? Additionally, can the individual still use their U.S. visa to enter the United States using their passport from their country of origin after receiving Canadian PR status?
The visa was obtained in 2018 and is valid until 2028, but is this invalidate visa after seeking asylum in Canada in 2020.? Is there a place or phone number where I can check if my American visa is still valid? Should contact with American border?

Post to the asylum / refugee section of the forum. Do not use your home country passport to travel and do not renew your home country passport.
