Hi guys,

Im currently in Canada on a IEC Visa, earlier this year i managed to land my self a job with a Canadian company. Next month my company will be sending me to the US for a company conference.

What I would like to know is do i need to obtain any visa's/clearance for me to travel to the US?

Thanks

Good question, you might want to ask in US forum, or check directly at the border (if possible by going there by car a few weeks in advance)

You might require an I94, that can take a few hours to get done, do look it all up, in advance.

If travelling by car I94 waiver.
If by Air ESTA is required.

Correct, but he might want to check about conference, if it's considered as work or 'tolerated'. Remember final decision to let you in, or not, is taken at the border.

I did it in oct and november for conferences and gave this as purpose of visit. I was asked where i live and i said canada and gave my canadian address on the forms. There was absolutely no problem

did you need an ESTA?

ESTA is only for flights, don't get one if driving, I did it, lsot a few $ :-)

i will be flying over from toronto, been on the US web site and it seems i can get a ESTA done online.
