Hihazel15 said:Hi guys, do you need a US visa to do the landing? Or you don't need to cross the US border at all?
Thanks!
assuming that you need a US visa to enter the US:
Technically, for just the landing process by what is known as "flagpoling", you do not need a US visa (because you will not enter the US by the very strict idea of flagpoling). However, in this case, you will have to tell the US Customs/Border Patrol Officer at the border that you are not intending to enter the US but to flagpole. They will give you a refusal of entry notice. You carry it back to the Canadian Port of Entry for the landing process.
What I plan to do is to travel for a day trip (I have a valid US B1/B2 visa) and land on my way back 8)
