Silly question about air travel

[DevinB 1]

So with the air crashes that have happened recently my wife is scared to fly to the US (we are in the final steps of our IR1). Is it possible for her to fly into Canada then simply cross the northern border and take a train or something similar down to our state without it causing issues?

 

I'm not very knowledgeable about Canada but Google seems to confirm you can enter Canada with a US green card and a foreign passport. That said, there are most likely other issues with said plan so I was wondering if anyone else had done this for whatever reason?

She will not have a US Green Card until she is actually inspected at a US border. She will need to find out what she will need to enter Canada. 

 

What State is she going to need to get to from the Canadian border? I ask this as travel by land has great reduced options. I've looked high and low to be able to do that and it is pretty much non existent these days. I used to be able to take the Greyhound but they went under and that is gone, no trains or buses from my area to where I need to go up to Canada. 

 

As you can see I like land travel myself too.

Oh ok that makes sense. It's in oregon and there are usually some amtraks running but it is always much slower than really most other options. I just wanted to find some way to calm my wife's nerves

I can understand. 

I looked into Amtrak too. Nothing near me or to where I need to go and so expensive to still need to find other ways to finish the trip. 

 

Definitely check out what she needs to go through Canada.
