B1/B2 visa - Going to Canada
I'm a British citizen. and I received my B1/B2 visa today. I wonder what the situation is with regards to going into Canada after visiting the USA. For example, can I stay 6 months in Canada immediately following a 6 month stay in the USA? Obviously assuming border control let me in would this be possible in theory? I already have the ETA for Canada arranged also.
Thanks in advance.

Why did you need a B-1/B-2 instead on using the VWP?
I'm no expert, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to visit Canada directly after the USA. It seems you will have proof of onward travel to Canada at the US POE, right? And you will have proof that you'll be leaving Canada when you arrive at the Canadian POE?
I take it you are of retirement age and have proof of funds to cover a year without working?

This is the third time you've asked. The answer is still the same.

But the answer is the same no matter what visa you have (or waiver). No entry is ever guaranteed. You are no more or less likely to be denied entry into Canada because of how you entered the USA. It has nothing to do with Canada. When you arrive at the border you will be inspected by border patrol and depending on the officer's instincts regarding the purpose of your trip and the truthfulness to your story you will either be admitted or denied.
I think you keep asking because you like to keep reminding people you're going on a big trip.

You'd need solid evidence of non-immigrant intent, bank records, plane ticket, etc. because plainly you're not working.
