Made a trip to US, left before original return ticket, can I make another trip and use my original return ticket?

Made a trip to US, left before original return ticket, can I make another trip and use my original return ticket? - Positive woman with passport using laptop on luggage in airport

The title is hopefully self-explanatory, but I'll provide more details.

I had a round-trip flight from Canada to the US booked for a three month visit (Oct through Dec), but had a family member become ill two weeks into the trip and I returned by bus (only cheap next-day option) back to Canada. My family member's health complication stabilized and is doing well, so I would like to complete my trip. My question is: a) Can I still use the return ticket?, and b) Does it count as a return ticket when crossing the border/will the return to Canada and coming back throw any red flags?

Thanks.



Best Answer

A) it does. You're taking your original trip back. What you do between arriving and departing does not matter.

B) that is not a problem. What matters is that you have the intent to leave. You obviously do as you have a ticket. If anyone does ask questions, tell them the truth.
