Hi,

Requesting some info regarding travel to Canada. We filed for removal of condition on 13th May 2015 and my biometrics was done on 24th Aug 2015. My green card expired on 25th May 2015 and I have an extension letter (NOA1) which extends my status till 25th May 2016. We are planning to visit Niagara falls on 21st and 22nd of September and planning to go to the Canadian side. Wondering if there will be a problem entering Canada with the expired green card and extension letter.

I assume I can enter US with the extension letter and expired green card based on some of the posts on VJ.

You should have no issue travelling with your original (expired) green card, original extension letter, and valid foreign passport.

Will back that up. I've had to travel to Canada multiple times due to work and there has never been an issue. Same when I went back to the UK.

I was actually amazed by how little they seem to care about it. They just scanned the card, looked at the letter and sent me on my way without any questions at all (4 times off the top of my head)
