    No you don't need to get it removed ;) I went there on holiday a few months after I finished my CRP and there was no trouble about it :)
     
  3. I would actually call immigration and double check, they are supossed to remove your visa (the card part thats stapled in your passport not the stamp) when you leave the US after your program. But since they don't see alot of the type of visa we were given alot of border guards don't know this and they leave it in, which can cause problems if you get a grumpy immigrations officer next time you enter the US. I mean, 99.9% of the time it's not an issue but I would call and talk to someone just to be on the safe side :)
