Canada Allows US Permanent Residents Visa-Free Entry
The Canadian government has announced that certain lawful permanent residents of the United States do not require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a visa to enter Canada, provided they have the correct documentation. This exemption has been effective since April 26, 2022, and applies to all travel methods into Canada.
To qualify, travelers must present two documents: a valid passport from their country of nationality and a valid green card or equivalent proof of permanent resident status in the United States. Acceptable proofs of lawful permanent resident status include a valid permanent resident card (Form I-551), a foreign passport with an unexpired temporary I-551 stamp, and other specified documents.
US citizens are also exempt from the eTA requirement but must carry a valid US passport. Those who do not meet the exemption criteria must verify if they need an eTA or a full visitor visa before traveling to Canada.
