My husband works in the ship, Carnival to be exact. Someone had told me before that if he has a B1 or B2 visa that he may be able to come and visit me in Canada for a period of 30 days. Is this true?
B2 B1 Visa, can they enter Canada for a visit

B-1 or B-2 visas: During your visit to the U.S., you may visit Canada or Mexico for up to 30 days and re-enter the U.S. as long as you re-enter within the period noted on the Form I - 94 which you received when you first entered.
I am not sure if they mean by American Perspective ( typically once you are in US, you can stay upto six months ) , you still might need a visa fro Canada ( 90% sure ) if f understand it correctly

Will he need an invitation from me to enter Canada? How easy will it be for him to enter Canada with the Immigration officer?

Sorry, read my comment again I edited it...I don't think they mean, B1/B2 allows to enter Canada on it - it probably means you can leave and come back and not affect your status in US so experts can confirm

He will still need a visa to enter Canada. Yes, a person with B1, B2 visa in USA can go to Canada and return to USA on the same visa but immigration officer in USA must be satisfied that the visitor will leave the USA within the authorized period of stay.

One needs a Visa to enter Canada and he/she cannot enter Canada on US B1/B2 Visa...Good luck
