Can a Canadian Visa/Entry be granted at a US Border?

I currently have a US visitors visa and have travelled to several countries (6 to be exact) including the US. I will be travelling to New York soon but would also like to travel to Canada to visit friends there as well if possible (since they are kinda close). Can I get entry at the border if I can prove that Im not trying to run off. I am from Jamaica and Im aware we are not ton the list of waiver countries. Thnx for your help

uhh... no. you need to have a visa even if you enter by land. jamaicans need a visa to enter canada... whether they enter by land, sea or air.

and no. they do not give out visas at borders. you need to apply for it... in jamaica. you can only apply for it in the US if you have residential status here (citizen, permanent resident, work or study visa).

Our customs barely check people's passports, so as long as your not packing a bomb you'll be able to get in. If you have a passport or even just the visa might be enough and tell them your going to visit friends they'll let you in. We're really nice, especially compared to the $%^$& at US customs lol.
Happy travelling!

you do not need a visa for a holiday to canada, if your stay is less than 6 weeks then all you need is your passport.

sometimes however, it screws with your visa you already have for the us, you best make sure it allows you to leave and re-enter the us or it might be void. i know some people on visa's that were working in canada that wanted to visit the us, but they couldn't or their visa's would be voided

You should go to the nearest embassy or a consulate to obtain visa
