I was asked to raise my right hand in Montreal, that was before he started asking me any questions.

Maybe they just ask the dishonest looking people? 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

I wasn't asked to raise my right hand... or my left, for that matter. Though, the consular officer could've asked me to dance on one foot like a monkey because I was that stressed at the interview :lol:

Not being able to do the hokey pokey is grounds for inadmissibilty. :)

You may be right, they spin their chairs around look at the president and then read the sign underneath, "do not let in people in who look like this." :lol:

When we in Montreal last week, right after closing the door behind us, we were asked to raise our right hand before he started the interview.

If they ask you to raise your middle fingers, then you know you're screwed. :)

I don't remember anyone having to raise their hand. Of course I was so freakin nervous I couldn't think straight and I'm the USC. :D Hell the lady didn't even tell us we were approved. She mumbled something like looks all right and said we would receive the visa in about a week.

:dance: Put you right hand in, take your right hand out... :dance:
