I have a question for you all. A friend of mine is here from Ukraine on a J-1 visa. She is an au pair for a family here in the US. Her friend and her were thinking about taking a drive to Canada for a few days from here in Pittsburgh, PA. On the J-1 visa can she go to Canada, and then return to the US without any problems, and/or does she need a visa for Canada? Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but wanted to ask. Please let me know, and thank you.

If her nationality requires her to have a visa, the J-1 doesn't undo that. She'll still need a visa

The J-1 doesn't give her access to Canada as well

Good luck
