I'm pretty sure you'd need a visa if the trip's more than a few days
If they're in any way upset with you they'll let you know after you've made the application. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Pfffft, I got in and out for my honeymoon with an undeclared criminal record. I tried to do it by the numbers but
couldn't get an embassy appointment to have my "I'm a reformed criminal honest guv'nor" chat, neither here
in London or in the Irish american Embassy despite many attempts to try and make it happen in time so I just winged it.
Was shitting it a bit, since by trying so many times to do things properly I felt like I had put myself on their radar somewhat.
But no, I went through US customs and immigration twice on that trip too, once at O'hare and again in Honolulu, over a month
long visit. It would seem apparent that one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. That's my experience. Didn't tell
Canada fuck all when I went there either, ended up getting prosecuted for speeding in a National park on that trip. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Always carry 2 one has a worldwide SIM that has data only and no apps, just maps and chrome. Other is in luggage. Safer that way |

Thanks to BCF you're probably confused as fuck now.
The facts:
ESTA lasts two years, does not expire after one trip. Two years means two years.
You can stay in the US using the VWP system for up to 90 days at a time, no visa required. You are very unlikely to be issued a tourist visa unless you are old, doing business without doing business (don't ask, it's a minefield), or old enough to be dead.
You may return any time thereafter within the two year ESTA period.
It is recommended that you spend longer out of the US than you spend in it. For example, I used to aim at 88 days in the US and more than 90 out of it before returning.
(Edit: You spent one day in the US, rule of thumb says that you're ok after two days have passed since that visit. Spend more than six months in the US in any one year and the IRS might want to look into your tax affairs. )
You may renew your ESTA when it expires, nobody's head will explode.
Come visit me if you're headed to the nice bit of Florida. ____________________ Make mine a Corona.

Esta has nothing to do with visiting by land, you only need it for air travel, the only advantage it brings you when crossing the land border is you don't have to fill out a landing/customs card when you enter. So forget about that.
What you had was an I94 visitor visa, it allows you 90 days in the US but you can keep renewing it, I have one pretty much permanently but have to renew it every 90 days as I cross back and forth over the Canada/US border weekly for the last 3.5 years, I spend about 250 days a year in the States and it's perfectly legal as long as they know why. The 90 day limit is on each visit.
You have done everything right, you handed it back in to Canada customs. When you next cross to the US you won't have an I94 in your passport so you'll need a new one, doesn't matter if you cross before or after that old one expired, you get a new one regardless, you'll have to go inside and renew it, they'll give you another one for 6 bucks and it'll expire in another 90 days time from the date you cross. All is good. |

Brits enter under the VWP scheme, our passports receive an I94 stamp which is a record of arrival and departure not a visa, it has no renewal but we won't get in easily again if we overstay the 90 limit, it may well mean something else for Canadians as you lot have different entry/exit requirements. ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

I don't have a Canadian passport yet so still travel on my British one hence I have to get one every 90 days. You cannot overstay the 90 days at all, if you do you'll likely face big problems when you return again. However, like I say, its 90 days in one stretch not 90 days a year or anything, so you can leave on day 90, spend a day in Canada or anywhere else then return again for another 90. |
Intersecting that it's a paper slip for land crossings, air entry uses a dated stamp that is put in your passport, on any random page that takes their fancy.
Whilst you can re-enter after one day out of the country, if you've done a long stay you are more than likely going to get a grilling at secondary ( where they put all the suspect entries). Once upon a time it was a common practice, now they're going to quiz you over you permanent residency location. ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |
