how do they know?

Yes, they honestly do care at the border. Ask anyone here who's been interogated by them just how much they do care!

What border driver is describing, I'd be very careful. My brother was working with a hockey program up in Colorado years ago and he would spend 3 months there, come back, spend three months there, come back for a week...

Well, he eventually got caught and while he wasn't barred, they told him to stop doing what he was doing or the next time he went up to colorado they would put a ban on him.

Again, can I just say that spending more time in someone else's country then your own is suspicious. Unless you are a 55 years old and a snowbird, I don't see why you would be spending time (as a visitor) in someone else's country without having a reason for doing it. If you don't work or go to school or have any type of residence you live at in Canada, then it appears that you are living with someone in the US then.

To me, it's not about the exact number of days. It is all about how it looks to US BP.

EEEKKK. Thats crazy! i'll tell those people i'm not going to give them rides anymore. thanks for the insight. i also figured out how many days i was spending everytime i visit US in the weekends. it is well below 180 days. whew.
