Entering Canada as a tourist with Latvian residence card.

[Jevyyy]

Hey there,

Does anyone know if it's possible to enter Canada as a tourist with Latvian residence card only, without showing passport? Or will they ask for passport anyway?

My whole family is Latvian, but my mom switched to Russian passport for retirement purposes over 3 years ago. With the current situation between Russia and Ukraine I'm worried that she won't be allowed to enter Canada. Does anyone know if this is the case and if Latvian residence card can be used instead of Russian passport?

Thanks,
Jev

1. She needs a valid passport, if it is Russian, she will need a TRV (visitor visa) Holders of Latvian passports require an ETF to travel to Canada.

A residence card is not a travel document, so no. She won't even be allowed to board the plane without showing a valid passport.

I assume OP's mom had to have renounced her Latvian citizenship to gain Russian citizenship since Russia does not recognize this dual citizenship case.

There are currently no prohibitions for Russian passport holders to apply for Canadian visas at the moment.
