Visa to visit US
We are British and live in Canada as permanent residents. My daughter in going on a school trip to the USA - does she need a VISA? Her school thinks she might but the website they gave me is only of use if you are Canadian.
Can someone please tell me the website I need to use to find out? Thankyou |

Bats' information is correct. Are you incapable of using Google? You will find many answers there.

UK passport holder going to the US does not need a visa. The Visa Waiver Program states this. http://bit.ly/13zPG5B |

Thankyou If not, make sure she has six $ US for the fee, and warn her teacher as it takes about 30-40 mins and may delay the journey time. You will also have to fill out a form that says the teacher is responsible for her, But most of the kids in the vehicle will have to do this. My son goes to the USA on average every 3 months for sport (Footie) and he has never had an issue with the Border guys and gals. |
Re: Visa to visit US
As your daughter is going on a school trip and most likely will be the only one without a Canadian passport it might be easier if you go to get the I94 beforehand. I don't know where you guys live and if it's a long way to the border. But depending on how busy the border is, getting the I94 can take some time. You could all go for a day in the US :D. It's $6 per person, most borders take credit cards but I'd take some US dollars just in case. The I94 is valid for 3 months and when you know that you won't use it anymore then you can give it back on your way back into Canada. There is also a postal address where it can be send to.
Don't worry about people being rude, that's life and their loss having such a miserable personality. I don't know why one would take the time to post on here solemnly to insult someone else??????? Must make them feel better ;) |

Re: Visa to visit US
I wonder if it would be worth getting her a Nexus card instead? There's an enrollment centre in Vancouver or you could do it online if you have time.
http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/prog/nexus/elig-admis-eng.html http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/prog/nexus/location-eng.html http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/prog/nexus/goes-eng.html Children Children under the age of 18 require the consent of a parent or legal guardian to enrol in NEXUS. At the interview, children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by at least one custodial parent or guardian. Please note that there is no fee for applicants under the age of 18. The parent or guardian needs to have documentary evidence of custody with no restrictions on removal from the custodial jurisdiction. The documents presented to the officer at the NEXUS Enrolment Centre have to establish that the adult or adults are the parents or legal guardians. Children can be enrolled in NEXUS even if their parents or guardians are not NEXUS members. |

Which website? She has to get out of the bus and go into the US Immigration Office, fill out a form, get fingerprinted, photographed, pay $6 for the visa waiver, then off she goes. Will need to remember to hand the slip back in on her return.
