Cross-Border Travel Plans: Exploring the Possibility of Visiting the US from Canada by Land with a US Tourist Visa and Returning by Air

Yes, you can generally travel from Canada to the USA by land with a valid US tourist visa and return to Canada by air, even if you're only staying for a week or two. Here's how it works:

Entering the USA by land:

  • You can cross the border into the USA at any land border crossing point.ย Be sure to have your valid passport,ย US tourist visa,ย and any other required documents readily available.
  • You will need to go through a CBP (Customs and Border Protection) inspection.ย The CBP officer will ask you questions about your trip and may inspect your belongings.
  • Be honest about your plans and intentions for your visit.ย Do not mention any intention to work or stay in the USA beyond the permitted period.

Staying in the USA:

  • You can stay in the USA for up to six months on a B-1/B-2 tourist visa.ย However,ย the CBP officer may grant you a shorter period of stay at their discretion.
  • Make sure you comply with the terms of your visa and do not engage in any activities that are not permitted,ย such as working without authorization.

Returning to Canada by air:

  • When you are ready to return to Canada,ย you can fly from any airport in the USA to an airport in Canada.
  • You will need to go through a Canadian immigration inspection when you arrive in Canada.ย The immigration officer will ask you questions about your trip and may inspect your belongings.
