Just a question. I am a Canadian citizen and would like to know if I have to get a visa to go to the states?
Most Canadian citizens can travel to the United States with a valid passport and without a visa. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, a Canadian citizen who has a criminal record or any other ineligibility might be required to apply for a visa. However, they should first request a waiver from the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection department, which should be obtained at the land border crossing. If a Canadian plans to attend school or work in the United States, they are required to have specific documents for the appropriate visa category.
