U.S. Bound Travellers Information

The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services has removed the Visa and Passport waiver for certain permanent residents of Canada. If you are a citizen of another country currently living in Canada, you will now be required to present a passport and, in some circumstances, a valid non-immigrant visa if you are travelling from Canada to the United States.
