Seriously, just what the title says. This is the letter my mom wrote in case I needed evidence of returning to Canada while visiting the US. I took out the identifiers and where she worked. She actually had her business card attached, and printed on gov't letterhead.

The morning she dropped me off at the airport she handed it to me. I read it in line checking in. I almost died of laughter. I think the letter was more for me. Felt like an eviction notice. :rofl:

Your mother has a great sense of humor! I love this letter! Did you show it to the IO?

No, last trip was just a quick, purpose of trip and is you husband American or Canadian. No other questions. I would have though, if he asked for more evidence. Just to see if he had a sense of humor in the least.

That was a brilliant letter. I almost wished you'd shown it to the IO just to see if you could get a laugh. Probably would've made CBP's day! :lol:

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

too funny

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

Or made them madder. Some of them can get real mean. I mean, their ears go back and everything! :help:

:lol:

We had a mean one the last time we went to the States, i'm hoping he has transferred somewhere else by now.

Your mom is hilarious :rofl:.... wonder if she hangs with my mom... on the "Bren, there are no returns, you know?" :unsure: To which Bren replied: "No worries, where's the dowry?" :angry:

:rofl:

Chris should have been quicker and said the same thing.

My mom is one of the saltiest people I know and love it! She makes me laugh daily with her sarcasm. This letter was just the most formal version of it, I have ever experienced. I just showed her the post, and she said "what are people going to think about this? They don't know how awful, you and your cats are."

Hehehehehehehhehehe, that letter is delightful! Yes, it is a keeper - put it in your file of evidence - it may be useful for another trip another time:-). And if not, it will be good for laughs years in the future:-).

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
