Hello folks...I have a question. I have been living with my American wife in the U.S for over 3 years now. I am actually eligible to apply for citizenship now but have not done so yet. I will be travelling to Canada to see family in December, which will be a month after my Canadian passport expires. My question is this....Should I have a passport if I make this trip and if so, how do I get a Canadian one. Can I get a US passport as a permanent resident?

Thanks.

The never-ending story of the visajourney of this Canadian/American couple can be found by clicking HERE

AOS was officially approved via email notice from USCIS on August 10th/2005, 622 days from the filing of the I-130 in Nebraska on November 26/2003, the very first day that we started our immigration journey.

Received 10 year green card on August 15/2005.

Our thanks to the creators of visajourney and all those here who helped us along the way..May God bless you and strengthen you on your visajourney....and now life goes on.

(Jeremiah 29:11-13)" For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Hi Canuck4USA,

Nice to see another Canadian on the VJ boards! I asked a similar question about an expired Canadian passport recently (as I too will have an expired Canadian passport soon) on the following message threads, and got some answers:

Hope this helps. Have fun travelling to see your family in Canada. Good luck with your Canadian passport, US Citizenship, and the rest of your immigration journey...

Hi Canuck4USA,

Unfortunately, no...I wish that were the case though, as I would have applied for a US passport a long time ago, instead of carrying around a (soon to be) expired Canadian one!!! Oh and did I mention that the Canadian passport application process is more complicated and costs more overall than the US one? Oh well, we'll just have to wait to US Citizenship to get a US one...

Meanwhile, if you get the chance to apply for US Citizenship, do so as soon as possible, so that you can carry that US passport with you instead and not worry about a Canadian one (unless you want to have 2 passports, that is).

Can I get a US passport as a permanent resident?

Thanks.
