Get Your B1B2 in 3 Easy Steps
Did you know that the United States can deny your visa? If your visa application is denied, our protection package allows you to start a new process with NO additional cost. You must only cover the government fee.
To get a B1/B2 before leaving Canada, most foreign nationals must complete an online request. Then, requestors have to attend an in-person appointment at the nearest embassy or consulate.
During the consular appointment, digital fingerprinting and an interview will take place, as part of the process. Citizens must provide a recent passport-style photo alongside the request they filled out online.
Depending on the nationality of a minor, they may qualify to get their travel authorization without the need to undergo a consular interview.
The locations at which you may attend your consular interview are:

Tourists and business people visiting the States need to obtain a non-immigrant authorization for short stays.
Both the B2 permit for leisure and the B1 business authorization require travelers to follow the same procedure despite the purpose of the trip differing:
A B2 authorization allows the holder to take part in leisure and recreational activities such as sightseeing or sports activities
A B1 permit grants holders permission to attend business meetings, conferences, conventions, trade fairs, and similar activities
Canadian foreign residents can get a B1/B2 authorization if the purpose of their visit covers both business and leisure purposes.
Neither B1 nor B2 entitles holders to seek employment in the States.
