Agree with jess.

Answer 4

You will need your passport, that's for sure. A visa may be necessary, depending on your country of origin. And of course, if you have a criminal record somewhere, it would be best to ignore trying to get into the US, otherwise you might end up in a jail cell (You'd have to ask at the consulate first for a sort of permit for a short visit).

Answer 5

If you are only resident and not citizen,yes you need visa

Answer 6

If you are travelling by car, not yet but by plane yes...But since you have residency and not citizenship you should check out Canada's passport agency's website.

Answer 10

Yep, they just started that thing. Pity isn't it? I used to love an afternoon drive to Lethbridge or Calgary just for entertainment, now they have to big deal it.

Answer 11

No visa is required, but you will need a passport.

Answer 12

You need a passport. It depends what citizenship you do have. Some countries need a visa to enter USA, others (most EU nations) don't.

If you want, post your citizenship and I'll look it up for you.
