...backpacking in the states(visa ready) Be careful. Getting into the US is from Canada is not that easy. 2 examples. Dropped my cousin at the airport last year. She was flying to SFO or LAX to catch a flight to Spore. A US immigration officer at the airport turned her back. 2years ago, I dropped my friend's wife at the airport. Both are naturalized Canadian citizens(HK born). He is a greencard holder. Liked my cousin, my friend's wife was denied entry by US immigration officer at the airport. In both case, US immigration wants supporting documents. having a valid passport and visa does not guarantee entry into US from Canada
p/s ..in case you did not know. US custom and immigration officers are stationed at all Canadian International airports.
There must be some other reason why the individuals mentioned above is denied entry into the US. The immigration officials, as bureaucratic as they may be, don't normally deny people with valid visas into the US unless they have a very strong reason to (criminal records, no documentation to support claims, etc). They may ask more questions depending on your nationality, but they do try to make the process as easy as possible. Just avoid looking or acting dodgy in any way that will put you in a difficult situation.p/s ..in case you did not know.

If you're a student in the US/Canada, you will need supporting documentation showing your enrolment in college. With this, proof of travel plans and a valid visa, it should not be a problem.
