Congrats!!

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

congrats, cygnet & echomyst! it was a great day for a lot of us!

so now it's time to book a hotel in montreal, and pack for california! :)

I'm determined to let this happiness tide me over the next couple of weeks (my last weeks of first-year teaching haha)!

Where in California will you be moving to? And what hotel or hotels are you looking at for Montreal? I don't know Montreal that well, so will have to do some research on the different hotels/motels nearby. That'll have to wait 'til the weekend...

And what hotel or hotels are you looking at for Montreal?
Everyone mentions the La Tour Centre Ville as being reasonable and closeby the Embassy. I'm also looking at two Delta Hotels because I can use points. The Delta Centre Ville is 1 km away and the Delta Montreal is .5 km. We're months away from the interview, but I'd like it to be a romantic event in a nice place with room service.
