Most foreign nationals need a nonimmigrant visitor visa (B-1 business / B-2 tourism / combined B-1/B-2) before travel. Citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries generally use ESTA instead of a B visa for short tourism/business stays (check eligibility). Canadian citizens generally do not need a visa for temporary visit/tourism/business (per State Dept visitor page exceptions). ESTA: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ DS-160: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/
