Actually, yes, I do.
Generally speaking, a visa is not needed to visit Canada from the USA, if you are a citizen of the US. There are however, exceptions.
If you are visiting and immigration is concerned you won't return, but has no indication you won't, they can (and will) give you a visitor visa for a set amount of time, like 21 days, and then you have to "check out" with immigration when you leave the country. This is an alternative to simply denying entry.
Another, more common, exception, is people, especially those with a Canadian spouse, who are filing immigration papers, but come to live in Canada during the process. In this case, they will give you a visitor visa for a period of 6 to 12 months, so that you have legal status in Canada while awaiting outcome of the immigration process.

US Citizens do not need a visitor visa for Canada. Only time you will be denied entry into Canada if you have a criminal record, in which case you will be needing a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP).
If you do not have a criminal record then no visa is required, you can stay in Canada as US citizen for up to 6 months.

if you're a U.S. citizen you don't need a visa to visit canada; you just need your passport. alot of other countries don't need visas either. look it up on a canada tourism website. or ask a travel agent.
