US VWP when going to Canada

Upvote:1

Canada is a whole separate country from the United States, (and in particular there is nothing like Schengen) so yes, a bus ticket to Canada is sufficient to prove onward travel from the US.

You are of course not required to use that ticket; if your travel plans change, you can always exit somewhere else, provided that you don't overstay.

As for something special that you need to do, you will want to have your departure recorded. If you leave the US by air, this is done automatically from airline records. But if you leave via land or sea, this doesn't happen. To deal with this, you can, when you arrive in the US, inform the immigration officer that you are leaving by land and request a paper I-94 form. You then turn this in at the Canadian border. If you don't do this, you can also prove your exit by keeping records of your bus and plane travel outside the US, or any other records, which show that you departed the US and when.
