Answer 2

first off, canadian permanent resident card is not called a green card. it's called a maple leaf card (i know coz i have had both cards).

and yes, you need to get a visa for the US even if you're a permanent resident of canada. the US grants entry into their country based on the country of citizenship, not residence.

i know it's confusing coz US permanent residents are allowed entry into canada with their permanent resident status. sadly, the US is much more stricter than canada. so yes, you will probably be needing a visa if your country of origin does not have a visa waiver program with the US.

here are the list of countries not needing visas to enter the US:

Andorra Iceland Norway

Australia Ireland Portugal

Austria Italy San Marino

Belgium Japan Singapore

Brunei Liechtenstein Slovenia

Denmark Luxembourg Spain

Finland Monaco Sweden

France the Netherlands Switzerland

Germany New Zealand United Kingdom
