Hi!

So I already have my new open work permit, but didn't applied for the new TRV 'till now. I'll probably get the approval before the end of the week, and then they will ask me to send the passport to Ottawa.

Problem is, I'm traveling in two weeks to the US, and by timelines I'm seeing there's no way I'll get my passport back before that.

So my question is, can I travel to the US, and on my way back show my approval letter of the TRV and get it stamp at the border? (If you can do that for a work permit, don't see a reason why you couldn't for this).

I wouldn't be applying for a new TRV, I would have the approval already, just missing the stamp. Please let me know, thanks!!

You can travel to US without TRV . You just need valid permit to re enter Canada. You need TRV if you are coming back from any other country except USA.

I don't have TRV and have travelled to states with valid work permit and they did let me in many times. To be sure you can call border security number and make sure. Sorry I don't have any contact number but google it you can find the right contact number. But I am sure you can travel.

So there it is. Thank you MP89, I was about to cancel my trip.

So you actually can travel to the US with a expired Visa, great great! :)

You can travel to US and go back to Canada with an expired TRV, that's for sure because I called CIC regarding this matter too :)
