Do I need a passport to enter US? The passport that I have from my home country is expired, is my permanent resident card a valid piece of ID? Do I need to get a visa?..How long does it take to get a visa and can I get one with an expired passport?

You do need a passport to enter the US. You do need a visa or you may not be allowed to reenter Canada. The visa process can take anywhere from 2 weeks to several months depending on what your native country is and if there are any unusual problems with your case. You cannot get a visa on an expired passport. Sorry.

yes, you need a passport to travel to the US. only canadians are allowed into the US with just a driver's license (although that is not the case anymore. even US citizens are required passports when coming into their own country).
your permanent resident card is only valid in canada, not in the US. one of the requirements of a US visa is a valid passport that will not expire during your entire duration in the country.
depends on which embassy you're applying for. the one in vancouver takes a month (visa, not passport).
if you really want to travel to the US, have your passport updated. in fact, you should update your home country's passport otherwise, you can never leave canada. travel to any country will be impossible for you.
oh, by the way, if you're a legal permanent resident of canada, just apply to any US embassies here. you don't have to go back to your home country nor is the waiting period affected by which country you come from.

No, why do attempt to be? in case you and your spouse live in the U. S., your spouse isn't a resident of Canada, is she? in case your spouse is living and dealing in the U. S., she isn't eligible for the Canadian equipment, both, it really is for taxpayers. Our equipment isn't free, it really is time-honored, there's a huge difference. We do pay for it, with our taxes, and we are certain popularity. She is in person-friendly words eligible if she is non everlasting resident in the U. S. with a serious position of living in Canada, or on non everlasting accountability, alongside with Canadian military on project in the U. S.. you are able to develop into eligible in case you flow to, and develop right into a criminal resident in Canada.
