Can I travel to Canada with green card without passport?
No, as a foreign national, you cannot travel to Canada with a Green Card without a passport. A passport is a mandatory travel document that foreign nationals must present when entering Canada, regardless of their residency status in the United States.
As a lawful permanent resident of the United States (also known as a Green Card holder), you may be exempt from obtaining a Canadian visitor visa, but you will still need to present a valid passport when entering Canada.
Additionally, as a Green Card holder, you can travel to Canada with Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). At Canada Immigration Services, you can obtain an eTA quickly, within 3 business days. The Canada eTA application procedure can be finished in only 20 minutes. The procedure consists of the following four easy steps:
- Step 1: You need to fill out the application form with your basic information, including your full name, nationality, and date of birth, as well as passport data.
- Step 2: Pay your visa fees and turn in the necessary documentation to finish the visa application procedure.
- Step 3: Once your eTA is approved, it will be electronically linked to your passport and remain valid for five years.
- Step 4: To be ready for your travel to Canada, you should print your eTA and bring it with you at all times during your trip.
