Connecting flight to US

[optimusprime]

I am not sure where this question falls, so I'm just posting it in here. Do let me know if this needs to be posted on a different forum.

I am a Canadian PR. I still hold a Philippine Passport as I have not yet filed for Canadian citizenship.

If I go visit the Philippines for a few weeks, can I pick a flight that has a connecting flight to the US?
Example... Calgary -> Seattle -> Hong Kong -> Philippines.
The reverse would be the case for the return flight to Canada.

I do not have a US Visa with me. And again, I only have my PR card and Philippine passport.

The reason I ask is because flights with connections to the US are a couple of bucks cheaper and I just wanted to know if I can avail of these flight.

Thanks.

You'll need a US transit visa (C-1 visa). See the following site for more info about the visa and how to apply:

I never thought optimus prime would need a visa to US lol. He invades everywhere in the US. You can always ask Megatron for assistance if US immigration don't listen to you

But yeah SCYLLA has already answered your question!
