So tomorrow Canada Day is my last official day of work in Canada. Then after work we are packing me up and making the big trek to my fiances place 100 kms from here.

I won't be able to bring everything on my first trip across....so that will be left in the hands of my parents and my man. He will have to return for some of my stuff. I have already checked this out with Customs and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Guess I will just declare it when I originally cross on yikes...Monday. It has been such a long time coming and then its here....like now. My fingers are crossed that I will have one of the "friendly" officers at the port. I doubt I should have much of a problem since I cross there all the time, but I may just end up with someone in a cranky mood....lol.

I'll report my experience sometime in the next couple of weeks, cause we are flying to Vegas on the 6th and gettin' hitched on the 7th.

Happy Canada Day everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (F)(F)(F)(F)(F)

Happy Canada Day, happy last day of work - and Happy Moving!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

enjoy the last day of work and have a safe trip!!

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
