alid I-94 but expired H1 visa. Canada tourist visa application?

[Nikhilpp]

Hi,

I am willing to apply for Canadian tourist visa to visit some of the great destinations. I am currently working in USA on H1B worker visa. I have questions related to visa formalities.

1. I am currently holding an approved H1B extension but my stamped visa on passport is expired. I will stamp a new one once I will travel to my home country. In this scenario can I apply for Canada tourist visa now ?

2. If yes to above question, What additional documents I need to provide as a proof of valid work permit in USA ?

3. Can I apply for tourist visa online ?

4. In near future can I use this Canada tourist visa as transit visa in Frankfurt (Germany) if I am traveling USA >> FRA >> India ?

Thanks in advance !

1. Yes, your expired H1B is irrelevant, and you're going to renew it anyway, you can explain your case in a letter of explanation with your TRV application.

2. Certificate of employment, preferably.

3. Yes.

I am traveling USA >> FRA >> India

4. ?????????? I don't think so, because you did not originate from Canada.
