OK its not me but a resident in the hospital I work in. She wants to join me in visiting Glacier National Park, but since so close why not visit Banff and Japser. She has a Green Card, does she need a visa?

OK, we've both got passports, she just spent a month off from the hospital at her home in Bangla Desh,,,,and we are both crime free...so we can get the visa's at the border, that is good!

Since she is a permanent resident of the U.S., besides passport, she will need her "green card". Permanent Residents of the U.S. are allowed to visit Canada without a Visa.

As a US or Canadian citizen, travelling by land or sea, you only need proof of citizenship (which must be passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers) and valid photo ID (which must be US or Canadian driver's license, passport, or military ID).
If travelling by air, you need a passport, period.
If not a US or Canadian citizen (regardless of permanent residency status), you must have a valid passport. If you are on a work visa or are a permanent resident, you must have that visa or 'green card' documentation with you as well.
And yes - Canada does have a permanent residency program. The document is called a PR card (which is now plastic like a credit card, compared with the old paper copies).
Effectively, the two of you will be entering on tourist visas - which may or may not mean your passports or other supporting documentation are stamped at the border. Depends on who you get ...

Sir,
I never heard of such a thing about getting a visa at any boarder? New one on me. Green Card in Canada we don't have. The DUI is where one might have the problem.
When going to the line ask only what is required then stop all conversation not needed! Show passport, then do exactly as boarder guard requires. May I suggest you do this for both sides. They do work together (Even thought it may appear that they don't).
Word from the wiser:

It became invalid after 12 months absence from the United States. Also, I take it you have not been filing a federal income tax return for the last 3 years. That's another sign you've abandoned your status. At the border you should give your green card to the CBP Officer. He'll have you sign a form. After that you can enter the USA just like any Canadian and stay for up to 6 months.

She can get a visa at the border. SHE NEEDS A PASSPORT!!! And soon, perhaps already so do you. You used to be able to cross with a driver's license. That is now changing.

All she needs is a up dated passport and to be crime free!
