Hi Friends,

I am a green card holder and I have green card in my hand. I am planning to visit canada. Do I need to get stamped I-551 in my passport? In canadian immigration website I found this following info.

For permanent residents, acceptable documents to prove this status would include:

* Valid Green Card
* Valid I-551 endorsement in their passport

It is also advisable to bring a valid picture ID, such as a Driver's Licence.

Is it compulsory to get stamped in my passport?

Thanks in advance to ur answers.

No
 
I-551 stamping is not normal procedure anymore, as I-551's are issued more frequently.

If you show up anywhere with an I-551 stamp and no I-551, they will want to know why, and the stamp had better be recent.

It is not meant to take the place of the card, it while waiting for card.
