I am a Canadian citizen so have no requirements imposed on me to enter Canada simply because I live in Mexico. Unfortunately, now Miguel needs a visa just to visit for a week or so. What a pain trying to get all the paperwork together.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-89885129786292639102009-08-07T18:37:27.464-05:002009-08-07T18:37:27.464-05:00Immigration officers indeed are scary.

Glad it worked out for you.<br />What I am curious about is whether you (as a person living in Mexico) needed visa or not to visit Canada.<br /><br />Regards, Lorne.life insurance brokerhttp://lsminsurance.ca/brokersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-68433365218631863162009-08-02T07:36:02.375-05:002009-08-02T07:36:02.375-05:00K and Jeanie - I agree that women officers are tou...K and Jeanie - I agree that women officers are tougher than males, for the most part. Not sure why, but I would rather deal with a male officer myself. They have the booths darkened now when you drive across so you can't tell, but in the airports I always go to a male line if there is a choice.<br /><br />Carl - Yes, that's how I felt when I sat and watched parades of people, some looking like they might not be of the best character, get their documents and I get the third-degree. I understand why they are careful with my type though - want to make sure I'm legit and fall into the NAFTA category of professions in high demand (with proper credentials).<br /><br />Anon - Sort of doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? But they have special officers to protect your country from people trying to get in to work and take American jobs, so that is their focus. I understand, just don't look forward to the process every single year. (now they have a 3-year TN, so if it works out I'll go for that next year).<br /><br />Bennie - I know that sometimes they give us a hard time even when we have the proper documents. In your case you're dealing with Canadian Immigration. It's always hard on the nerves even when you know you're not doing anything wrong and you tell the truth.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-20658371675773934802009-07-29T07:40:18.315-05:002009-07-29T07:40:18.315-05:00Sue you know just how much I dread immigration off...Sue you know just how much I dread immigration officers when crossing borders for business. I can't imagine having to do this every year like you do. <br /><br />I agree honesty is the best policy. <br /><br />I have always made it through but not always without feeling uncomfortable like I'm being sent home or doing something wrong.Benniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097317908338598428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-10630959907763908982009-07-28T11:10:54.411-05:002009-07-28T11:10:54.411-05:00Glad you got it done Sue.
