Hi Everybody ,

I'm a Canadian PR . Can I travel to the states by just using my Indian passport and my PR card ? Or do I have to apply for a VISA ? And if so , what kind of VISA ?

Thx,

Super

Your Canadian PR status has no impact. It depends what country's passport you hold. If you hold a passport from a visa exempt country, then you can enter the US on your passport alone. If your passport is from a non-visa exempt country, then you'll need a tourist visa to enter the US.

Since you hold an Indian passport, you'll need to apply for a tourist visa if you wish to enter the US.
