Very ambiguous information in determining whether my wife needs a transit in Canada. The statement from the Canadian immigration website says this "persons lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence who are in possession of their alien registration card (Green card) or can provide other evidence of permanent residence." Now as we have not yet entered the US, we do not yet have the Green Card. But is the CR-1 visa obtained from the US Consulate permissible under the "other evidence of permanent residence" description? I cannot find any examples of what is permissible as other evidence, PLEASE HELP!

No, the CR1 visa in her passport will not suffice. Until you enter the U.S. and use that visa - she is not a permanent resident.

Oh well, now have to add an extra 12+ hours in layovers in order to get a ticket home before Thanksgiving. |
