I am from the UK and have been staying in the US on an I-94W visa for almost. Normally I leave the US for Europe every 3 months and I have no problem getting a new I-94W each time I re enter the US. This time I was planning to Fly to Canada for a few days to obtain a new I-94W. Will I have any problems getting a new I-94W when I go through US immigration at the airport in Canada? I have a valid ticket from the US to Europe which is dated about 6 weeks after I plan to go to Canada.

Well, this is frowned upon, and one day they will catch up with you and deny entry,
because they suspect that you have the intention to reside in the US, which is not
allowed for a non-immigrant. It is up to you to prove them wrong, but if you in
fact stay in the US all the time you will have a hard time showing that you reside
in Europe.

See above. The visa waiver is for stays as tourist. If you want to stay longer, you
should get the appropriate visa.

You cannot extend an I-94W by travel to contiguous territory with the USA. Going to
Canada for a few days won't work.

Not to mention the fact that you are going to have problems getting back into the US
with all these trips to the US.
