Hi there! Can B1/B2 visa enter Canada? My B1/B2 visa will be expired in 2025, but I’m not in the states by this type of visa. Can I use it to enter Canada for h1b stamping? Do I still need to apply for Canada tourist visa? Thank you in advance!

You cannot use USA B1/B2 visa to enter Canada. You need to apply for a Canada tourist visa to enter Canada for H1B stamping.

Thanks!

If you're a EU citizen, you can leverage the B1/B2 but still need to apply online before you arrive for an ESTA-like permit.
