If you travel down to the states but come back to Canada for family events, etc., do the days you’re back in Canada still count towards the 183 days?

Ed.: They could be. Short visits back to Canada may be counted toward your six-month limit, at the discretion of the U.S. CBP officer handling your entry. To be safe, it’s advisable not to exclude these brief trips from the day count of your overall stay duration.
