I am a US resident. do i need a visa to travel to canada?

if you have a green card, all you need is that and your passport. if you don't have a green card, then you might need a visa. depends on your country of citizenship though.

No not to go to Canada, all you need is your I.D (driver's license). If you have a passport then you can use that to, since 911 you did have to show your birth certificate as you crossed over in to Canada.
I'm not American i lived in Michigan and each time i went over to Canada, i just showed my Michigan I.D. They will ask where your going to in Canada and then just ask, how long you plan on staying.

If ypu are a legal permanent resident of the U.s. (green card holder), you do not need a visa to travel to Canada. If you FLY to Canada, you will need your passport from your home country as well as your green card. If you travel by LAND, you need your green card and a photo I.d. In a few months, passports will be needed for LAND travel too. I have found that many green card holders in the U.S. do not keep a current passport from their home country...as a green card holder , you are responsible to do this. If you do not have one now, you can apply through the nearest embassy or consulate of your home country in the U.S. see 2nd paragraph under "Visitor Visa Exemptions" on 2nd website.

hallo,
visa is not required for a stay up to 90 days.
Starting January 23rd, 2007 all United States citizens need a valid US passport to enter Canada. United States legal residents (Green Card holders) need their original Green Card and a passport from their country of origin.

If you were born in the US, you require either your passport or a government issued photo ID and your birth certificate. You do not require a visa to travel to Canada unless you plan to work or go to school there. If you are flying you will require your passport (courtesy of the US government), if you are travelling by land or sea then the photo ID and birth certificate are all that is necessary. If you were not born in the US but are a resident then you will need your citizenship card as well. The easiest method is, if you have one, to use your US Passport as that should satisfy all ID needs.

When I travel across the border I use my passport as that tends to speed up the crossing a bit. However, unlike some information given, you do not require a passport as of the beginning of this year. That requirement was first pushed back to July and has now been extended until 2009 although the actual date the regulation will come into force is uncertain.

If you reside in, but are not a citizen of the US, then you will require your passport and have to meet the requirements of the country you are a citizen of. To confirm those requirements check with the nearest Canadian Consulate. In addition, you will need any ID signifying that you reside in the US, this is for the US upon return, not Canada.
