I already applied for USA GC 5years ago, still waiting....!

HI

What do you mean with Indian visa, my husband is from the Netherlands can we apply for this visa? if so how and were??

Unless you require a TRV (visitor visa) to enter Canada, and if you are Dutch citizens, then no you can't apply for one, since you don't need one to enter Canada as a visitor.

Check the official CIC website for Temporary Resident Visas (TRV) for the most up to date information. Make sure you have very strong ties to your country before you apply. If you are an Indian working in another country, you will need to prove you will leave Canada at the end of the Visa. Good Luck.

We had something similar back in 1988, I was with my mother and it was our 3rd Trip to USA. They let us go after questioning.
During another incident, it was my father 6th visit and the officer says there is NO VISA? my father said it's right in there else I wouldn't travel and he called his supervisor who apologized to him and let him entry.
