Dual citizen of UK and Canada visiting the US with a valid UK passport but no current Canadian passport

It seems to me that you’re in fine shape, as long as that Canadian passport arrives in time. You enter the US on a UK passport, with a stay of less than three months, with documentation of a return flight within 6 months (whether leaving from Canada or the US, shouldn’t be an issue), and documentation of your trip to Canada within 3 months.

Then you travel to Canada on the Canadian passport (as you must).

If you reenter the US, do so on your Canadian passport.

I don’t have an easy answer to your dilemma, except to offer these suggestions:

  • In most circumstances, Canadians can renew their passports using the “simplified renewal” process (the requirements are here but in short, the personal information must not have changed, the old passport must not have expired more than a year ago, you must be over 16 when the last passport was issued, and the passport cannot have been reported lost or stolen or have suffered damage in any way). This process gets rid of the requirement for a guarantor.
  • If you can’t get a Canadian passport in time, you are forced to use your UK passport (the US won’t consider you to need to use either one; you can choose, since you’re not a US national). If you want a stay greater than the three months you are granted with the visa waiver program, the only option to you will be to apply for a visa instead.
