AP and Canada Visit.
- Thread starter nTan
- Start date
If you are entering using your AP, you don't have to worry about your expired visa stamp.nTan said:I and my family have a valid AP and the passport have old stamping ( the dates are no more valid)
We thought of visiting Canada by road.
Wanted to know if it would cause any sort of problems etc..
Thanks
ntan.
When you re-enter by road, you will be asked to park your car and go to the immigration office (which is right by the side of the road) to get your AP based new I-94 - that's all. (unlike a H1 entry where you'll be processed and sent your way right in that roadside kiosk).
Wait time depends on where you are entering (some places are busier than others) - give yourself at least an hour.
Thanks max2k1.
That was very helpfull.
Another question -- do we still need a visa to enter canada -- [? sorry for a dumb question -- as I had heard that GC holder need no visa.... ]
Thanks max2k1

Yes, you still need a Canadian Visa to enter Canada, since you dont have a GC yet.
GC holders don't need a visa.nTan said:That was very helpfull.

You may or may not need a visitor visa depending on your country of citizenship - you can check in this page for your country
