Are you allowed to travel to the u.s.a on a temporary canadian visa or would you have trouble getting back in?

Question

i imagine it is going to be a temporary work visa

Answer 1

What kind of Visa are you on?  If it is a visitor visa then probably you are going to require a visitor visa to get in to the US.  Generally, a visitor visa issued for Canada is a one entry deal - so no you would likely not get back into Canada without applying for another visa.   If you are on a work or study visa in Canada and the visa expiration date is still valid then yes, you would probably be allowed back into Canada as long as you are still complying with the requirements for having the visa, example,  still attending school or working for the same employer as the visa was issued for.
