You should be able to. I drove to toronto. No questions asked at canada port of entry. How long are you going to stay in canada? Where will you be staying in canada? and he let me through.

The canadian officer told me i could keep my i-94 card. He said i would have to return when i go back to my home country.

Do not drive in a rental car to canada from the us, there is a possibility of the embassy delaying your visa processing and you could end up paying a lot. Hope this helps!

Yes you need to have a canada TRV on your passport before you attempt to enter Canada from Vancouver.

There are no issues to drive from Seattle to Vancouver. I drove a couple of times for H1 visa stamping. I didn't have any problems in the past at POE. ARe you driving rental car? If yes, you have to think about options if you get 221g or other security check waiting time. Advise is to drive own vehicle or better fly.

Thank you All.. I will take an Amtrak train from Seattle to Vancouver and i have noticed 2 KMS far from Amtrak station to Days inn hotel where i am going to stay.

Hope no problems if we take Amtrak from Seattle as flight charges are really expensive from Seattle.

Thanks
