I realized today that it was SEVEN YEARS AGO that I posted this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/92474-the-vent/ - that's kind of cool!

I've had a great few years, but now I am looking for immigration advice in reverse. My ex wife and I have reconciled and I am looking to bring her to Canada. So now a new journey begins to find out that process and get the ball rolling. Let's hope this one isn't as painful as my US adventure.. ;)

Nice to see a few familliar faces here still!

http://www.roadtocanada.com/forums/index.php a common recomended site......many say going to Canada is a bit easier...have not done it, so can't say

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
