Well at least they didn't pull you into secondary. That happened to me once. Here's a tip make sure you clean your car out real good before you cross the border lol

@canadatravelguide I used to work here. The reason they pulled you up was because you stopped in the middle of the photon arrays. those are the yellow panels at the beginning of the lane. When a vehicle stops in the middle of the arrays, it sets off alarms stating that there are nuclear material on board. Just a hint. If a CBP agent drools the gate arm, do not proceed into the lane. Just patiently wait outside before the photon arrays where it says “stop here” happy travels 😊

Just passed through a few days ago for my first time. From US to CA first time. I was asked a few questions by CBP (they guy was FANTASTIC btw) and I was on my way in about 45 seconds. Biggest thing he asked is of my CAD equivalent was more than $1000 USD, of which I had $1060 USD. He said "Good on you, Welcome to Canada".

Us border guards are very different than coming back to canadian border guards. Us border guards seem angry to start with.

It depends where you go. I am canadian and when i enter the us the american border officer is always nice smiling and doesn’t ask much questions and even told us a few restaurants not to go in the town we were headed and when i came back to canada the lady was nice but was more serious and asking way more questions and wasnt as good of an experience as going to the usa. Everything depends on where you go threw customs cuz its not the same employees

Yep crossed many times American here: going into Canada shortest took 30 seconds longest 2 minutes Going back to US: shortest 2 minutes longest 5 minutes, easier to get into Canada than back in my own country

The US guards actually have threats to worry about. Who'd threaten Canada, the friendly puppy dog of the nations of the earth. Canada has no power so no one cares. The US is the center of a vast empire. It has countless threats.

The first thing I noticed was that when the CPB officer asked you when the last time you were in the US, you answered with too much information. You didn't have to say you were with your family, just how long it had been. Whenever a person crosses the border either way, they should listen to the question and answer only what they ask and don't offer any extra info because that raises their interest.

@@billnye3954 As can Canada turn back any American it wants. What's your point? I'm not a lawyer, tik tok or otherwise but I do research before I post. Also, I have crossed the US-Canadian border for work and leisure more times than I can remember so experience teaches a lot.

I don’t live too far from the Rainbow Bridge Border crossing, I worked down in Niagara Falls for a bit like 5 minutes away from the rainbow bridge border crossing, and I live in Hamilton, so yea it was a pain in the butt having to drive all that long with a truck but that’s what I had to use to get there

I was sent to secondary on a road trip. My GF at the time (who's genuinely sweet as pie) was grumpy because I woke her up (it was like 3am). She was lippy with the guards. They spent a half hour searching my car. In the end they confiscated a baggie of lemon slices. Can't import citrus into the USA apparently.

Was going into a border town in the US from Canada one time with a few friends and the border guard asked what our purpose was for coming to the country. I told him we were going to enjoy some cheap American beer . He just said, have fun. And waved us through.

You answered their questions wrong . They start you off with a few questions , anything sounds out of place you get more questions . She was very professional . Take head coverings off , remove sun glasses . Have passports for all occupants in your hand and give them to the guard . Dont ask questions just answer what you are asked . Remember they are protecting their country

Alright. CBP officers on the Mexico-US border (Specifically those in El Paso Texas) are much more nice and polite. If you cross regularly enough they won’t even check you.
@azrich2463 Жыл бұрын
Interesting. I cross almost weekly on the Mexican border and never have had this kind of extended palaver about personal affairs. What does your bumper sticker say, etc.? One or two questions usually suffice.
@canadatravelguide Жыл бұрын
That’s right. Normally, they let you in after one or two questions. My guess is that they picked-up my bag of documents that I was bringing in for my Aunt in their x-ray. She went for it as soon as I opened the trunk.
