Have any Canadians gone through this process? We'd like to drive from Calgary to Toronto (perhaps Montreal) this summer, and would travel through the US due to time savings (I'm told it cuts up to 12 hours off the journey). In order to do that, we'd need a US Visitor's visa for my husband. Has anyone gone through applying for this? Any success?

Canadian Permanent Resident (Dominican nationality) applying for US Visitor's Visa

Within 3 months of being in Canada Yris applied for an American Visa at the US Consulate in Vancouver(there is one in Calgary) paid her money and within 4-6 weeks had her American 10 year Visa. I don't know if the process has changed since 9/11, but she was able to download the application from the internet, sent her passport...etc.
Trina here is the link . They have the application that you can download like Bob said.

Hope you'll be able to make it in July as well...
Trina,
I really hope that you'll be able to get the US visa for Angel so that you can visit Ontario in July. Would love to meet up with all of you!
Anna - pls do contact me when the time comes. I have been lying low for several reasons - mainly, my health has gone down hill with work related stress!
Take care

Jane and Helen, meeting you two would be some of the biggest highlights of our trip. Even if Angel doesn't get the visa, we may still come through Canada, and just not have as much time to visit...I'll have to map it out and see how it goes.
Helen, I'm sorry to hear about your recent troubles. Drop me a line sometime!
Me too, me too !!!!!!
Trina,
I was thinking about your trip last night, and thought to myself if Angel doesn't get his visa, you would then be travelling on the Trans Canada, right?
Well, we live one hour south of Hwy. 17, just east of Kenora. I know you will be pressed for time, but I would be honoured (if it happened to be time for a stop) for you and your family to be guests at our home. If you find that it doesn't work for you, I would understand. If you need cheap accommodation for one night, how is free work for you !!!!! LOL
Anyway, closer to the time, maybe we could plan a visit in Kenora on your way through if you didn't want to come down our way, you can still get to Thunder Bay from our highway so it would just offer you a different route.
Let me know !

It wouldn't be an imposition whatsoever!
I wish I could get to Toronto to meet everyone there, I'll have to start shopping again at Safeway and Shell stations (or Victoria Secrets my spouse is reminding me !!) to rack up some of those air miles!!!!! Unfortunately, I am 1200 miles away so I have to hijack Trina and her family half way !!!!!

P.S. Immigration contacted us about a month ago for some more paperwork, but haven't heard anything since. At least they are in the processing stage!!

Ontario bound...
Trina,
The offer is open for you to stay with me & my rugrat when you get into Ontario as well. Mississauga is quite close to Toronto so, that would be a good base for you to make your rounds!
There are also several questions I have for you regarding child custody when you arrive. It can probably wait until then. See?! I do have an ulterior motive for having you stay with me.
Take care...

Thank you all! I would love nothing better than to be able to finally meet those I've not yet met! Now this is all I can think about, I think even if he doesn't get the US visa, we'll be on our way. Another TO reunion is definitely in order. And MJ, if we have the room, you're more than welcome to hitch a ride with us!
