Question: do canadian permanent residents need esta for us?
Answer: No, citizens of Canada who are traveling with a Canadian passport do not need an ESTA. I am a Landed Immigrant of Canada? ... If you are coming to the U.S. by air or sea, you DO have to apply for ESTA. If you are not a citizen of a VWP country, you are required to have a visa, and therefore ESTA does not apply to you.
