Does going to Canada qualify as leaving the USA to comply with F-1 OPT visa rules?

Hi there, my F-1 OPT has expired and im on my 60day grace period. Before going home to England i intend to travel for more then 60days. So i am going to drive over to Canada , hand in my I-95 at the border and then come back over by greyhound a week later, on a 90day visa waver, as a tourist (which is what i will be). I have a bank statemnet to show i can suport my self, addresses of friends with whome to stay and a flight home in November. Can anyone for see there being a problem with this as a friend said that they may not recognise Canada as having left the state in the first place so im starting to worry!
