Here's here!!!! He almost got arrested at the airport (Dorval), but he made it here. *rests head in hands*

Réjean had these spiked gauntlets that he tried to bring with him. He called TSA to inquire about them and checked the website to see if he was allowed to bring them on the plane, and he was given the go-ahead. When he got to the airport, though, security accused him of trying to bring a weapon onboard, threatened to arrest him, and ultimately ended in them confiscating them. Which is a shame since they cost him $400. They also broke the lock on his guitar case, but that's because Réjean forgot to unlock it before it was inspected. :oops:

Oddly enough, they didn't confiscate his bullet belt... :blink:

congrats on the no jail time,lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

My thought is why didn't he check in the gauntlet? He could have brought it without problems probably since its not in the cabin...

But oh well!!

Congratulations for the newly reunited happy couple!!!

And have a long life of love!

That's the weird part of it all... it WAS in his checked luggage. It wasn't on his carry-on luggage. :\

Thanks for your good wishes, and I will be sure to post wedding photos! We even got a videographer, so I'll probably post the wedding on YouTube or something, hehe. September 22nd... it's coming up SO soon, and we don't even have a ceremony venue booked yet!

Oh weird :blink:

Oh well..I guess its a small price to pay to be together ;) I did have to leave my nice 4 years old 4 feet long female ball python :( Had all the exportation papers to have her go though customs, but when we called they only said it would be a small examination to make sure she would match the papers.....turned out to have an officer at that POE was another fee and the exam another , etc, etc came up to 300$ and we learned about it 6 days before the moving....had to leave her behind to a friend :(

But hey I don't regret it. Its a small price to pay ;)
