I thought there was a space on the cards to put that amount in? And after soo much $$$, they deduct it from ur EI!!

Yes, it is a great idea to not claim it! First thing I would do is check with your spouse and see if he will write you while ur in prison,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

highly doubt full you would receive any criminal charges for it.. You would have to pay it all back of course..

but how would they know I work under a SSN and my EI is under my SIN.. I would never do it but just saying..
