Travel to Canada: Valid US Visa B1/B2 Requirements

No, having a valid U.S. B1/B2 visa (for tourism or business visits) does not automatically allow you to travel to Canada. Canada has its own visa requirements and policies, which are separate from those of the United States.

However, depending on your nationality and the purpose of your visit, you may be able to travel to Canada without needing a Canadian visa under certain circumstances. For example:

1. Visa-Exempt Countries: If you are from a country that is visa-exempt for Canada, you can travel to Canada without needing a visa. But you would still need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if flying into Canada.

2. U.S. Visa Holders: If you hold a valid U.S. visa (including B1/B2), certain nationalities may be eligible to apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) for Canada more easily, but you would still need to apply for this visa.

3. Traveling by Land or Sea: In some cases, if you are entering Canada by land (car, bus, etc.) or sea (such as on a cruise), and you hold a valid U.S. visa, you may not need a Canadian visa, but it depends on your nationality.

It is always best to check the official Canadian immigration website or consult with a Canadian consulate to confirm the exact requirements for your situation.
