I think we're the friendliest bunch around too. My husband thinks it's weird when I chat with Canadian government employees or people in billing or whatnot for all my old Canadian bills/accounts. I was on the phone with the EI lady and we were talking about the summer, differences in Canadian/U.S. bureaucracy, vacations, etc. He thought it was weird... I told him, that's just what we do... we're friendly and we chat!

Hahaahha yesssss I get the same thing all of the time. The building I am in has a few Canadians, and I have a flag on my car. I am stopped at times and when I see other flags or hats or markings of Canadians we ALWAYS stop to chat even if we are in a hurry. My wife doesn't quite get that because in California you walk with your head down and ignore everyone.

I do feel comfortable when I have a chance to chat with someone. For example if I am on the phone and I slip an "eh" conversation always ensues. I do love that part of the culture, absolutely.

Thats one great thing about refereeing hockey!! From time to time during youth hockey tournaments, teams from Canada are participating! Most are from Ontario, and I guess that sort of counts as Canadian,lol

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
