Is a citizen of Canada required to apply for a US visitor visa after visiting Iran?
Under new rules, non-US citizens from Visa Waiver Program countries who have visited Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, or Yemen are required to apply for a proper visa because they are no longer eligible for the VWP.
Does the above apply to citizens of Canada also? Canada is not a Visa Waiver Program country, but instead Canadian citizens can enter the US visa-free. If a Canadian citizen has visited Iran for example, is the entry procedure to the US any different?
I have looked through Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act Frequently Asked Questions but that page does not mention Canada.
