My husband is flagged with Canadian Immigration. He finally got the full story tonight at Pearson.

First, some history: My husband has traveled to the U.S. quite a bit while we were dating. Now that I am back to living in the U.S. he is back to traveling back and forth pretty regularly. He always received grief from those lovely officers because he never had a PR card and always traveled with his passport+IMM-1000. Prior to that, he was griefed by CIC for not having citizenship (I kid you not!). So, today, he flew home from a short weekend visit and was pulled (again) into secondary when processing through Canadian immigration. This time, he was a bit perplexed because he actually has his freshly printed PR card.

So, he asked some questions. He was informed at secondary that his file was flagged and he would get pulled into secondary every single time. They said it was because last time I went to Canada (in Nov 2007) I had told the Immigration officer that I was there to visit my husband. I remember they gave me a bit a hassle until I informed them that my husband is processing for U.S. immigration, then I was finally waved through. So, according to tonight's explanation anyway, Canada is busy making sure that my husband's travels are not outside of the limits for a PR and he has not lost his status. My husband tried to debate this a bit telling them that there was no way they could determine if he was out of the country "too much" until the 5 year period (which actually started last week when his PR card was issued) was up. The kind officer informed my husband that they have every right to check his time out of country and go back into history if they so chose. My husband then decided to egg the guy on a bit and told him that he was intending to get Canadian citizenship and would probably be finished with that process within a year or so and whatever would the officers do with their time when they are not busy keep tabs on his movement. It didn't go over well.

Can't wait for the day of our interview in Montreal. That will be the last time I set foot in Canada.
