can I go to the us for a day?????
Hi Im going to be going to Canada for 5 months as a visitor in october.
I really want to go to Buffalo to watch a few American football games (just the day) and a trip to New york (a weekend) does anyone know if I will have a problem going across to the USA and back again and if they re stamp your passport or just let you go for the day and not change the visitors stamp
The last thing I want is to get refused entry when I go on a day trip
Thanks guys

As long as you are returning to Canada from short trip to US and within the admission granted when originally arriving to Canada you'll be fine. You said you are coming for 5 months - how do you know that you will be granted 5 months admission?

Hi Acealfie
I visited Toronto last May and while I was there I drove down to Niagara and crossed the border in a failed attempt to drive round Lake Ontario (it's a bit bigger than I was expecting, especially since I didn't have a map). Drove up to the crossing, showed my passport, no stamp, answered a few questions and drove on. Easy as that. I did have a few entry stamps to the US from previous visits but the border guard was very disinterested in me.
Good Luck.
