Applying for US Visa then Re-entry Visa to Canada

[honeysweetie]

Hi forumers, just want to ask if I can possibly get a US Visa because my employer wants me to go with them for a vacation in Florida in summer 2012. Any links that will lead me on how to get a US Visa. And btw my re-entry visa is already expired. Do I have to apply re-entry visa first or US Visa. Thanks a lot.

Honeysweetie,

Where do you live?

BTW, you stated that your employer wants you to go with them to Florida (I wish I could have employers like yours). 

Have you had a U.S. Visa before? or first timer?

Honeysweetie,

Where do you live? just transferred here in Toronto Ontario (2 months ago under LCP new employer)

BTW, you stated that your employer wants you to go with them to Florida (I wish I could have employers like yours).  Lucky me but still I have to work looking after two kids so for sure I can't enjoy

Have you had a U.S. Visa before? or first timer? I'm a first timer so I don't know how to get one and my re-entry visa here is expired already.

Any help? any links where can I begin to apply. Thanks!

You have a great chance at getting approved. Nannies I know have multiple entry visas because of the help of their employers. Get a letter from your employer to support your application.

THANKS A LOT JOB_SEEKER. I will keep you posted if I get positive response.

Got you message thanks for the info. Anyways, yes I'm still working with my employer. I guess I have to apply for a re-entry Visa to come back to canada if given a chance that I get a US visa and travel to. I have a valid working permit until April 2013. So I think I have to apply a re-entry visa first before applying a US visa. Do you think it's too early to apply a multiple re-entry visa considering that my employer's plans to travel outside canada is not until summer 2012? DO you think Canadian Embassy in Buffalo will issue a re-entry visa that co-terminus to my WORK PERMIT validity?Thanks.

[job_seeker]

it is advisable that you have a valid TRV for Canada so that that you can leave and not worry that you'll have problem coming back, so applying for the TRV now is not too early. Normally the TRV is set co-terminus with the WP or the passport which ever has the shorter validity.

Have you tried downloading the pdf file and opening it? You can actually request a copy (I think).

I am waiting for my new workpermit < same employer> which I expect to arrive early Jan 2012 cos I sent app. online on Oct 6 2011 .
then I will apply for re-entry visa in Seattle, I live in Vancouver. Once I get passport wth visa in my hand I will apply US visa <should be around April the latest>
BTW my friend just got USA visitor visa approved yesterday. She said it very easy and not take long time. They will mail passpost with visa back within 3 days. I wish canadian visa as fast like that!!! BUT NOT. Anyway she lived in USA before so I think it's easy for her to get visa to visit again.
Hope it help
