Can I go to USA with TRV or Work Permit ?

[dev4all]

Hi Guys,

I am currently living in Vancouver with valid temporary resident visa & work permit. One of my relatives live in Seattle & I wanted to go there for a week.

So I wanted to know if I can travel to USA with Canadian TRV or Work Permit.

Do I have to get US B1/B2 visa for that purpose ?

Thanks.

Canada and the US are two completely separate countries. A Canadian TRV / work permit is only good for entry to Canada.

Hi,

You will need a visitor visa to enter the US (B1 or ESTA if you are from a visa-exempt country).

Then when you are back into Canada, you can enter as you are legally admissible to the country or you wouldn't have a work visa in the first place.

If you are for some reason on implied status and leave the country, you will lose your status.
