Canadians must be angels -- or at least have no record -- to visit US

its a new world,

I used to feel like I had the right to cross the border at will,

I used to shop in platsburg years ago, once a month,

but the last time I visited the states on my way to carolina,

I was very vague with the customes officer, and I guess not prepared,

or maybe i was used to being rubber stamped on my way to vegas twice a year,

but on this occasion the guy really busted my balls and I almost missed my flight,

he had me babbling like a idiot, once I realized he was serious,

we got into a debate about business deals VS consulting,

and wether I neaded a visa to enter the contry, and what my qualifications were adn what work I was doing and for who,

and this was for a 3 day simple business trip,

its a new world these custome guys have grown some balls,

which I guess is good in a post 9/11 world,

Its much easier to go over for a vacation or some shopping than a business trip.

Same thing if your coming to Canada from the states.

I know webmasters from the US that have been denied trying to come over to Canada, with the same kinds of reasoning I've seen in this thread.

But breaking a window 36 years ago? Come on, that in itself is enough to sit back and laugh.

Lazy?? Half the people that are going across the boarder have jobs and work wtf is that all about? Lame!

Never say you are going on business, Personal is the best way to go, I still get my balls busted each time, but there is less questions they can ask if you say Personal as opposed to business.

Well, same thing will apply to George Bush if he wants to visit Canada once he becomes an ordinary citizen.
