You do not need a visa to reenter the United States if you have proof of Landed Immigrant status in Canada and possess a passport from a country which is a member country of the U.K.'s Commonwealth (which India is).

Dear Inquirer:

If you are applying for readmission from a contiguous territory following an absence of 30 days or less, you are eligible for automatic visa revalidation. See 22 CFR �41.112(d).
