Rather a silly question...

[Caladan 19]

...anyone ever had any problems entering Canada? We read so much about occasional stop coming into the U.S.. but what about the other way?

I'm visiting the boy in August for two weeks. Can't wait! But freaking out over silly things, of course.

If you are the USC, you should have no problems.

Can I ask how old he is? Why do you refer to him as a 'boy'?

I'm 27 and he's nearly 30. (But he's insisting he'll be 29 for a few years yet.) I'm the USC. I refer to him as 'the boy' just for fun; 'boyfriend' seems a little weird for someone I'm probably getting engaged to in August, and he always starts phone calls, with 'Love you, how's my girl?', and I respond, 'Doing okay, how's my boy?'

Yeah. Weird.

If you're a Canadian citizen or perm resident, why would they stop you from coming back? Unless you're carrying with you illegal or dangerous goods... or you've declared yourself some kind of terrorist...

Ok, in that case, the same rules apply... if you cross the border much too often, they may deny you. If you bring with you dangerous goods, they will deny you. etc.

I'm the USC. (posted before your last post.)

Anyhow, okay. It shouldn't be hard -- I've signed my lease effective two days before I leave for a whole year. Plus the schooling and all.

It is exactly the same situation as crossing the US border. Make sure you have your proof of citizenship, plus evidence of ties to the US. Don't bring along huge amounts of personal belongings that make it look like you are 'moving' in, and you should be alright. Yes, US citizens get turned back at the Canadian border for the same reasons Canadian citizens get turned back at the US border. You shouldn't have any problems though.

my husband travelled every 3-4 weeks to visit us in Ontario before I got the Visas and before we were married. He only carried his passport and DL. Once was he questionned at a land crossing but he still got through no problem.

yeap, same types of rules apply to get into Canada.

And if you have any type of criminal record (anything from DUI, to petty theft) you will be unadmissable, full stop. My hubby is banned from Canada because of a stupid filing error
