Okey guys I reallllllly need your help! :P

Did u ever cross the border to the US ?!?!?! if yess i have a question!
I wanna visit Canada, so I have the Saudi passport with the Visa to the US and the austrian one, which doesn't need Visa to either Canada or the US!
So I was wonder if I could enter Canada with the Austrian passport and enter the US again with the Saudi one! That would work if I would stop at 2 checkpoints at the border right? 1 for the US (that you're leaving, and 1 for CA that your entering) So I was gonna show the Americans the Saudi passport and then if he asks I'd show him the Austrian one! vice versa when I get back.
Do you think that would work? Or do you only stop at one checkpoint each ??? O.o

I need to know by the end of todayy!! thanks a lot guys!!! :'(

I think you should use just one passport - that way, it'll show that you left the country and came back, rather than leaving the country, and someone by the same name came back with another passport.

But I'm not really sure which would be most efficient. I've been to Canada before but I have a US passport - never really had the issue with visa or anything.

Why don't you ask somebody in the government?

Sounds like a lot of legal trouble.

So if you're not back on the forums anytime soon, we shall just assume you've been detained, yeah? ;)

I would agree with what Linux said, if you use one passport to enter a country and another to leave they will get really... suspicious of you and might want to talk to you for a bit.

It would probably be better to use one passport, rather than two. Anyways, good choice on visiting Canada. It's an awesome country. Happy traveling!

Yeah exactly! I thought of just using the Austrian passport, but won't they ask about HOW I GOT INTO the US ????

Can't you just bring both in that case, Hamtaro? :3

Show them the Austrian one and if they ask questions show the other one?
