I am visiting my daughter in US in April and plan to visit Canada for a short trip (3-4 days). Do I need a visa to cross the border?. If so, can I get it from the border itself or do I have to apply it in India?

I can't help you on your original question, but I want to warn you of a possible problem. There have been stories here in the press of foreign nationals visiting the US who cross into Canada, and then are not allowed to return to the US. Their US visa allows only one visit, and that technically ends when they go into Canada. I have no idea if this will happen to you, but I would ask about it before you suddenly find you are not allowed back in the US.

You should contact both the Canadian authorities and US Customs. The Canadians will tell you if you need a visa to enter Canada. US Customs will tell you if you will be allowed to re-enter the US from Canada. Due to recent changes in security protocols you should be especially careful about the second question.

Yes contact the Customs authorities. They tend to frown on such excursion trips these days as many who enter for a quick visit through a third country such as the US disappear into the cities and settle illegally. You can understand how that has to be prevented. Good Luck.

Probably all non-USA citizens need a visa to enter Canada. And in your case you ought to make sure your USA tourist visa allows multiple entries. Otherwise, if your USA visa is only for a single entry, then you may not be allowed back.

I'm guessing that you can't considering the state dept. only speaks about Canadian permanent residents & Citizens but no one else.The application also talk about proof of ties/residence pertaining to visit visas so you may have to try acquiring a visa in the Philippines. Only the State dept. can set visa guidelines & all US embassies must adhere to them. "Visa Requirements - Citizens of Canada, and Permanent Residents Citizens of Canada traveling to the U.S. do not require a nonimmigrant visa, except for the travel purposes described below. Additionally, Canadian citizens who are ineligible for a visa under immigration law, or have previously violated the terms of their immigration status in the U.S., can Learn More about ineligibilities related to Canadians on the CBP website. Canadian citizens with ineligibilities also have the option of applying for a visa and a waiver at the nearest U.S. consulate if it is more convenient for them. Canadians require nonimmigrant visas for temporary travel to the U.S. for these purposes: * Foreign government officials (A), officials and employees of international organizations (G) and NATO officials, representatives and employees assigned to the U.S. as needed to facilitate their travel * Treaty traders (E-1) * Treaty investors (E-2) * Fiance/es (K-1) * Children of fiancées (K-2) * U.S. citizen's foreign citizen spouse, who is traveling to the U.S. to complete the process of immigration (K-3). * Children of a foreign citizen spouse (K-4) described above * Spouses of lawful permanent residents (V-1) traveling to the U.S. to reside here while they wait for the final completion of their immigration process * Children of spouses of lawful permanent residents (V-2) described above Permanent residents (aka landed immigrants) of Canada must have a nonimmigrant visa unless the permanent resident is a national of a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), meets the VWP requirements, and is seeking to enter the U.S. for 90 days or less under that program.
