Question

i came to canada almost two years ago and i am orginally from Afghanistan and i do have an Afghani passport. it has been 12 years i haven't seen my mother who lives in Califorina.

Answer 1

Assuming you do have a passport for whatever country you are a citizen of, I would never put a national border between youself and your passport. I used to go to Canada with just my Alien registration card and American drivers license but not since all the 9-11 fiasco. Depending on where you are from you may even need a visa. The Canadian equivalent of the Alien Registration Card (I think they call it "Landed Immigrant Card") you would certainly need, if only to get back again.

Answer 2

You need to use your Afgani passport to travel from Canada to the U.S.  You will also need a visa to enter the U.S.  You can go to the site below and read and follow all directions there to apply for a B2 tourist visa to visit the U.S.  It is NOT easy to get a visa to enter the U.S.  You may find it is easier for your mother to visit you in Canada.  If she is a legal permanent resident in the U.S., she does not need a visa to visit Canada.

Answer 3

you will need a passport from your home country. If not stay home, because if you get caught in immigration they will say you are from Iraq.

Answer 4

are you a united states citizen? if so then i don't think you do, but if you're neither then you need a visa.
