Recent Travels with Canadian Passport to USA

I also have no problem at all going to LA from Vancouver once a month. I always have my business card as well as my return ticket on me just in case!

The media sensationalizes everything. I would bet there's more to those stories then are reported. If you're someone whose never had a problem at a POE, there should be no reason that you would now. I'm not aware of your situation, but if you're waiting on a CR1 visa and visiting your spouse in the mean time, be honest with the CBP officer of your intentions, and pack along some documents proving domicile and intent to return to Canada after your visit. Things like a work ID, recent paystub, recent utility bill, lease agreement or mortgage statement, copy of your approved vacation time from work (if applicable). I did this numerous times myself, and only ever encountered officers who wished me the best.

Hi all,

 

With all that's been going on recently, some people that are born in Canada and have a Canadian Passport were denied entry and was told that they needed a visa.

(Was on news, woman from Montreal denied entry even though she's Canadian born, holds a Canadian Passport and has no Criminal records Montreal Woman Denied Entry)

 

I think that we wouldn't need a visa, but thought I ask fellow VJers if anyone residing in Canada, holding a Canadian Passport has recently traveled to the United States had any issues.

 

Thanks in advanced for all replies. Much appreciated!

 

My Fiancé is Canadian, and we have had a few problems getting him into the US. He has been denied entry into the US twice since 12/31/16. 

 

To be fair, the CBP agents at YUL said that they suspected that he intended to live in the US without a visa and because he had overstayed a previous B1 visa by 4 days in October. He was denied entry again in January for the same reasons. He has not tried coming to the US since our 129F packet was filed with USCIS.
