Flying from NS to the States while on a TWP
I am currently on a 3 year TWP in NS.
My boss wants to send me on a course to the states for a couple of days.
On my work permit it says 'THIS DOES NOT AUTHORIZE RE-ENTRY'
Does anyone know if I will have a problem flying from NS to the states using my british passport!
Many thanks in advance

Re: Flying from NS to the States while on a TWP
Hi
1. Two reasons why the statement is there, if you are from a non-visa exempt country and go for a visit to another country other than US, St. Pierre et Miquelon and only have a single entry visa, you can't return on the strength of the work permit. Secondly each admission as visitor (a work permit is a visitor allowed to work) is a new examination for admission and if you no longer qualify, you can be refused.
We have driven in and out of the states whilst on a TWP and we haven't had any problems - we have also flown to the UK and back twice, also without problem, even though the last time as it was so hurried I forgot to stick Dave's WP actually IN his passport...OOOOOOOPS!!
