Most only accept cash, hmmmm wonder why that is? 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

ya we were packed in there like sardines was crazzy. I didnt get dr Seiden we had Dr Walter looked like just some guy not in a lab coat or anything like that a bit chatty but all was good with him. The nurse though was joking how i should get my head checked having 4 kids. And for all that they did it wasnt worth the price we paid. I want a refund. The kids on the other hand could'nt believe how short all the nurses were one of the nurses wanted to borrow a few inches off one of my boys he just looked at her funny.

and thanks again all

I absolutely agree it's a ripoff. The doctors all know it's a license to print money. Medisys is about the same.

I think if a strange woman said the same thing to me, I too might look at her funny. :whistle:

Danielle, there must be a downside to having four kids who are 6'9". :lol:

Congratulations beatrix kiddo and Ontarkie!

Yes, isn't package 4 rather weird? I don't know they can even call it a package? :blink: Maybe they don't. Maybe it's US that calls it a package?! :blink:
