Transiting US with Canadian and other citizenship

Transiting US with Canadian and other citizenship - Public railway station with clock in center

I am a Canadian citizen with a valid Canadian passport, and my son is Mexican but he has his Canadian citizenship and Canadian passport. Do we need some sort of special permission if I want to travel to Canada with a connecting flight through the United States?



Best Answer

You and your son both carry Canadian passports. Unless there is some unfavorable circumstance such as a criminal record, Canadians do not need a visa for transit through the US (or indeed for most other purposes). As long as the traveler presents a Canadian passport, it does not matter what other citizenship may be held or where the traveler was born.

Canadian citizens also have a right to enter Canada, of course. Therefore, to answer your question:

Do we need some sort of special permission if I want to travel to Canada with a connecting flight through the United States?

No.
