32. I am a Canadian PR. Do I need a visa to go to the US?

Being a Canadian PR does not, in itself, provide you with special status
with respect to the US authorities. There are two groups of people who
can enter the US without a visa: Landed Immigrants who ALSO are the citizens
of a Country in the Commonwealth (or Ireland), and citizens of countries
participating in the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP).

To enter the US under the exemption for Commonwealth (or Irish) citizens,
a person must present his passport and proof of his Landed Immigrant status,

at the port of entry.

To enter the US under the VWPP, a person must present his passport, a
return transportation ticket good for travel within 90 days (if entering by
air.
If entering by car, no return ticket is required), and a completed I-94W
(visa waiver arrival/departure)form .

For more information about the VWPP and currently participating countries,
please see the US State Department site:
