Hello everyone i was just wondering how i can reach the minister of citizenship and immigration or someone who i can give a feedback well i just want them to kow that isnt fair that US GREEN CARD HOLDER CAN TRAVEL HERE Without a usa passport of course so why canadians permanent resident can't go there if they can came here why is canada so afraid of the usa may someone explain here why thanks in advance and where and how i can send this question to citizenship or to the house of commons
1. Check the CIC website it has a biography of the Minister and contact details.
2. The US used to exempt Canadian PR holders from having a visitor visa - basically PR status was a defacto B1/B2 visa class. The US like any sovereign nation decided to scrap that exemption. If I recall correctly that the PR status document at that time was the IMM1000 record of landing with next to nil security features and not even a photo wasn't helpful to the Canadian PR cause. It doesn't help that under the INA any person visiting the US is deemed to be an immigrant unless they prove otherwise.
3. Canada continues to allow US green card holders visitor visa free access as they deem such holders low risk of overstaying.
Good luck with getting CIC Minister to change this policy.
