Stamp on the Passport

[phenixdragon]

My wife was approved for her grenn card last month and we did receive the physical card a few weeks ago. But now she wants to take a trip with me next week for a few days to Canada. And from reading the Canadian website she doesn't need a temp. visa to visa Canada because she is a US Perm. Resident. Whereas before she needed a Visa to visit Canada because she is from Romania. But according to their site she just enters Canada like any US citizen but has to show the physical greencard and needs a stamp in her passport.

So I am wondering, where can we get the stamp in her passport? Should we be able to just show up at the local USCIS office and ask them for it? Or do we need to make an appointment for it?

Actually their site just says she needs to bring acceptible proof of her US Residentancy so maybe we don't even need the stamp but it couldn't hurt. It woudl suck to drive 3 hours to the border to be turned away.

I don't understand what you meant to say. Show us the link.

Under the section:
CITIZENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS OF THE US

But now that I am rereading it doesn't actually need the stamp. She just has to prove she is a Perm. Resident of the US which the green card is one way and the stamp is another way. But I am thinking it wouldn't hurt to get the stamp anyway.

Yes, she needs physical card OR I551 stamp.

You can't do that. They will refuse to give the I-551 stamp in your passport after you have received the card, unless you lost it and have applied for a replacement card.
