Does chinese wife (Greencard Holder) need visa to visit Canada

[Believer2]

My chinese wife and daughter want to visit her sister and cousin in Canada. My wife is a US Greencard holder, and her daughter is a US Citizen. Is my wife required to get a Canadian Vistitor Visa to enter/exit with her US Greencard and Chinese Passport? My daughter is a US Citizen, so I guess her US passport is all that is required ....don't need Canadian Visa? I have been reading the Canadian Embassy website and various forums on people giving advice, it's confusion. Also,her sister is on a "6 months visitor visa" from China staying with her daughter in Canada.She received her visa by requesting that she visit her daughter for college graduation, can she stay in Canada and ask for another 6 months extension on her visa, or does she have to

go back to China and re-apply there to go back to Canada on another trip. What are the odds that she will be refused to enter Canada again to be with her daughter?

Thankyou,

Chris

As long as she has a valid green card and a passport that is all she needs. US citizen daughter only needs passport. My wife and I visited Victoria BC a few years ago and we had no problems.

Greencard and passport is all that is needed to visit Canada, Mexico, and the Carribean.

 

We have been over to Canada 10 times since getting GC, no problems.

I want to thank everyone who replied to my question. My immigration lawyer told me that she would need a "visitor visa" from Canadian embassy/Wash. D.C. in addition to taking

her US Greencard and Chinese Passport.....I had a feeling her explaination was "halved baked". When a lawyer hesitates when giving an answer, my intuition light inside my head

goes off. Our immigration process started back in October 2001 and 10 years now I still laugh at the bad information that floats around with lawyers. Candle has been an reliable source of information that cannot be replaced...it is priceless.

It amazizes me the incompetence some lawyers exibit. A simple look up on the web of the Canadian visa site and bing educated answer.

 

Well that is not the worse lawyer I have seen. One advised someone, that K-2 child over age 18 could leave the USA prior to filing to adjust status after parents married.
