So, I already made a thread about this and was told not to worry, however, I have noticed the visa says, "does not allow re-entry" or something similar. Should I be worried? I leave for USA in two days and my visa doesn't expire until next year, so I don't want to go home!
Please make me feel better about this! Will I be okay to visit USA?

So I filled in the ESTA which I believe is mandatory now and was approved. Now, does this mean I am now eligible to travel into USA and return to Canada. I really don't wish to leave obviously!

No offence, but you seemed to get your knickers in a knot on your other thread, where people reassured you. You mentioned reading some handbook that got you all worried. And now you have started a second thread.
I know the unknown can be stressful and worrying, but when I was going through an uncertain time trying to go from BUNAC to PR, I used BE, but I also used other sources to do my own research.
The reassurnace, and experiences you have received on here doesn't sound like it is enough for you, so perhaps you should start doing your own research using sources that you feel are reliable.

"does not allow re-entry" is referring to not being allowed to extend your BUNAC work permit after it expires, and not that you can't leave Canada once you are here. You could of course apply for a different sort of work permit to stay on but that is another topic.

Not sure how many times people can tell you not to worry and that they have made the trip many many times.............mind you it seems you are so nervous you'll probably make a hash of it and end up getting a body cavity search because you answered yes to one of the questions you obviously answer no too.
Best bet is to stay at home in your room for the duration of your visa.

Glad you are calm now.........just listen to people's advice and stop panicing and acting like a big girls blouse and you won't get sarcastic comments.

I got to drive From Sarnia to winipeg and it would cut about 6 hours off the drive going through the states. Dnt think its worth the interogation and line ups at the borders though.
