H1B Visa holder travel to Niagara Passing through Canada Via Road
I am H1B visa holder working in Illinois USA . My wife an son have H4 Visa and my mom has a visitor visa for USA. All of us have Indian citizenship. I want to travel by road to Niagara Falls from Illinois, USA via Canada. I might need to halt for a night maybe in US or Canada (definitely not exceeding 48 hours in Canada) if required by my mom and son.
I am also planning to take the same route while coming back to Illinois, USA.
What kind of visa is required ?
Best Answer
Irrespective of the method of entry you will need a visa.
You can check your eligibility on the CIC Website as well as apply online for it.
Generally speaking if you're driving on the road 4 hours that you spend in Canada doesn't warrant needing to stay anywhere along the route. it is also possible that depending on where you're driving from in Illinois your best route to Niagara Falls may not be through Canada.
