Kanadensiska medborgare kan vanligtvis komma in i USA utan visum. Undantag där kanadensare måste ha visum beror på vilket syfte de kommer in, eller på deras kriminella och invandringshistoria, inte på den plats från vilken de reser eller på den jurisdiktion där de bor.
In most circumstances, Canadian citizens do not require visitor, business, transit or other visas to enter the United States, either from Canada or from other countries. There are, however, some exceptions to this situation. These exceptions (and the visa category they require) include:
Treaty traders (requires E Visa);
foreign citizen fiancé(e) (K-1 Visa), as well as the fiancé(e)'s children (K-2 Visa);,
- A U.S. citizen's foreign citizen spouse traveling to reside in the U.S. while awaiting final completion of the process of immigration (K-3 Visa), as well as the spouse's children (K-4 Visa);
- Spouses of lawful permanent residents (V-1 Visas), as well as the spouse's children who are traveling to reside in the U.S. while awaiting final completion of the process of immigration (V-2 Visas);
- Non-immigrants travelling to the United States for work (Non-Immigrant Visas), including:
- Canadian government officials (A Visas), if entering the U.S. for temporary or permanent assignment;
- Officials and employees of international organizations (G Visas), if entering the U.S. for temporary or permanent assignment; and
- NATO officials, representatives, and employees, only if they are being assigned to the U.S. (as opposed to an official trip).
Furthermore, Canadians who have been removed from the United States or who have a criminal record, including for driving under the influence, will need to follow a separate set of procedures to enter the country.
