There was a poster in one of the other forums who was asking why he had his fingerprints taken and biometrics at the US border after a visit back to Canada. I looked for something like this at the time and couldn't find it. Now if I can find His post I can share this information with him. I'm glad they got it sorted out that not every PR needs to go to secondary when returning to the US, thus doesn't need to have biometrics. Yep, sometimes people either are too ####### or just don't read clearly enough. I still can't see how it won't impact border wait times, though, in spite of what they say.

Thanks for posting this

The Sault border is always so slow.

Just from my own experience at the Sault border they do tend to be a bit #######.

Oh, for pete's sake. I sure hope I don't end up with a keener. I'm flying in and out of Buffalo in the next couple of weeks, which means I'll be crossing a land border. I had no idea they had implemented another fricking speedbump. I'll let you know how it goes.
