Would there be any problems for my wife and daughter (holders of 2 year greencards) to travel to Canada with me to go to Niagara Falls? Do I need to file any paperwork for the trip? Also I'm sure that they'd need to get a U.S. passport, correct?

Thanks,
Keith

There should be no problems but they cannot apply for passports until they are actual US Citizens. They should take their own passport from their own country of origin (China? judging from your info).

Hello Keith!!! No they cannot secure for a US Passport because they are not US Citizen but they can after they apply for Citizenship and i think you have to inform USCIS about your trip to Canada...I hope i answered your question...Goodluck and Godbless!!!

No, they cannot get US passports until they are US citizens. They should be perfectly fine using their green cards - and carrying their Chinese passports for additional identification while in a foreign country. Canada allows Permanent Residents in the US (green card holders) to enter Canada without a visa. You do not need to file any paperwork to take the trip - just declare status of everyoone to Canadian border authorities when going and to US authorities when you return. Have a great trip - try and visit Niagara-on-the-Lake and drive along the Niagara Parkway when you are there - it is one of the most beautiful drives in Ontario.

They must be US citizens to apply for a passport. Their green cards and passports should be sufficient. Enjoy your trip.

Canada treats green card holders as American citizens. I know because my wife and I made regular trips into Canada and never had a problem.

You are in Detroit, you don't need passports to go to Canada - just carry your greencards - make sure and have a Molson or two and Mother's Pizza. Have Fun
