I have a valid w-1 visa + work permit (until July 2012). My US based employer got it to ensure I can work from their Toronto office as needed (my most recent trip was in Nov 2011). I am currently at HQ in California as I also have H1B. I want to travel to Vancouver (I'll be flying from California) for a week long vacation in May. Can I go on my w-1 visa, or will I have to get a separate V-1 (visitor) visa.
 
You can center Canada with your W1 visa and your valid WP.

Hey Insan, has it finally worked to enter Canada as visitor with W1 visa? What was the process of entry and exit?

I have similar situation with W1 (new, never used) and the H1B... Would like to make sure I can come and leave no problem.
