Hello all,

I recently got a B1 business-visitor visa applied through my company which is valid for 5 years, as I needed to travel to Montreal for a month of work on-site.

There is a lot of confusion and very less information, whether I can use this business-visitor visa to travel to Canada as a tourist next time.

Does anyone have any information on this.

Would appreciate it a lot, thank you!

Hi, this might be a late question So your visa shows it is a B1 visa? Actually, I have a wx-1 and have a similar question as you. I googled through the websites and didn't found there is a b1 visa, so just ask here

Thanks a lot!!

Hi anusha19, did you go through with your travel (to visit your brother) with B1 Visitor-business visa? What questions were you asked by the border agent?
