No, a US visa does not grant entry into Canada. Canada requires either a Canadian visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for entry, depending on your nationality. U.S. citizens and permanent residents can enter Canada with proper identification, such as a passport, but citizens of other countries residing in the U.S. with a U.S. visa must obtain a separate Canadian visa or an eTA if arriving by air.
