Hello Folks

Is it alright for an H1 B visa holder ,having a valid H1 B visa stamp on the passport to fly into Canada for soft landing formalities,and then fly back? We're just planning to stay in Canada for a day , complete the soft landing formalities and then fly back to the US on the same day.Are there any guidelines or rules we need to be aware off?

What sort of questions are likely to be asked at the Port of Entry on our way back to the US? Should we mention that we went into Canada to activate our PR?

We have valid H1 B visa stamps on our passports ,which is valid until 2019.So my understanding is that this stamp should enable us to fly in and fly out of the US.

Please let me know your thoughts. We are Indian passport holders.

Regards
Joshua

Yes, just make sure to have proof of funds. If you are flying that far, i would suggest stay for a weekend and enjoy the city as well.

Finally, don't be so concerned about entry into US. They should be thankful for the taxes you pay. Have that mindset. Just be yourself and treat it like any other normal formality. They are no special.
