I am not sure that you will be moving to canada from US permanently or
just land and then go back to Uk.
If you are doing just landing in Canada and will go back to Uk to finish
up the stuff and then plan to come back to Canada for good in future
then in this case once you arrive at US immigration, show them your
Husband Canadian Immigrant visa and tell them your plan and also show
them your return tickets to UK from Canada,Its simple to tell the
officer that you are going to Canada via road.
If you are settling in canada for good this time and not going back to
UK, Explain this to US immigration and show them your husband immigrant
visa and your intended travel plan. you should be ok.
Remember the only thing is to convice the officer at POE tht you have
further travel plans etc.
