Can I go to Canada to renew my i94?

[Littlefatbloke]

Hi,
I am in the USA on an E2 visa.
My i94 is running out next month and I would like to drive into Canada, for a weekend and get my i94 renewed.
Has anybody tried this?
I heard they sometimes don't bother to renew the i94 at the border. Is this true?
I would appreciate any experiences, or infomation on this please:o
Thanks.

yes. just surrender your old i-94 upon leaving the us.
and request for a new one upon re entry.
you would be given a new i-94 with 2 years validity,
assuming your visa is not expired.

Thanks for the reply.
I heard they don't take your i94 when you cross the border by road.
I was hoping I had a better chance going through the airport instead.

my husbands i94 is to expire soon so we spoke to the customs and they said for us to go on a cruise for 2/3 days so thats what we did and we had no problems they renewed it 2 years and we had a good time good luck;)
