Does a BUS ticket count as onward travel??

[Chatmonkey]

Hi guys!

This week I will be flying to Vancouver and then onward to Toronto with my girlfriend who is a Canadian Citizen to visit her family. We have just lived a year in Australia.

I don't particular want to pay for my return ticket yet as I am unsure of the date I will be heading back to Aus. So my primary question is does a BUS ticket from Toronto to New York count as onward travel and would it be accepted by IO? I understand it would be up to the individual IO discretion but I was just wondering if anyone had any similar experience.

Obviously getting let in to the country is always a bit stressful but I am confident as I will have

1) Proof of sufficient funds
2)Proof of significant ties back to home country (I have a business in Australia)
3) Travel Insurance
4) Letter from girlfriend parents with address and stating that my stay is temporary
5) Bus ticket out of Canada

I have already contacted Westjet who I fly to Vancouver with and they said I won't get denied entry onto the plane and a bus ticket is fine. So that's good.

But yeah... any other thoughts?

ps: I haven't lived in Canada for about 12 months but when I left I had 1 year left on my work visa which ended in April this year. That won't be an issue would it?


Thanks in advance!!

I think you're overthinking this. I assume your eTA has already been granted?

Most interviews at the IO will be quick, and they very most likely won't ask for documents or proof.

So...just relax. You'll be fine.
