I just showed the officer my passport and GC, and off we go across the border to Canada :D

Never been to Mexico though, so not sure what you need.

All Green Card holders can visit Canada without visa (by contrast, most Canada PR's do need explicit B2 visas to visit US). For information on Mexico, you'd better visit the website(s) of its embassy/consulates in US (or CALL them).

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with regards to my question. So I'm happy to know that I can go to Canada without a visa as long as my Greencard and passport.

God Bless..

That a good link, thanks!

But what do they mean by "Tourist Card/FMT form issued by airlines"???

Visa not required for a touristic stay of max. 180 days,

provided holding:

- proof of residence; and

- Tourist Card/FMT form issued by airlines (free of charge)

09-02-2005 Applications for AOS, EAD, and AP received by MSC

10-21-2005 AOS fingerprint notice for 12-08-2005

11-07-2005 AP approved

12-05-2005 Infopass appt at San Jose office for interim EAD -- Refused, because it is already approved by MSC on 11-07-2005

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

12-08-2005 Biometrics for AOS and EAD. Having no EAD appt letter was no problem (used EAD NOA)

12-15-2005 EAD arrived in the mail

12-24-2005 Received interview letter; interview scheduled 03-01-2006

01-28-2006 Received replacement SSN card in married name (5 wks since application)

I have been to Mexico, but on AP. Did not need a Visa, but check on the Mexican Consulate site as to what you need. Seem to recollect it was pretty comprehensive.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
