So suck it up and join the club. Plus its damn cheap to visit Canada during the wait, try saving the money to fly to china on a regular basis, then post again.

Now there really isn't any need for that kind of attitude..

I agree, super rude.

no not rude,just a response to a very arrogant and descending post, and if your going to quote me, qoute it all so its in context please.

I actually never responded directly to your post, I was agreeing with Liz.

I was just trying to indicate the part that I thought had the attitude, the rest didn't.

Hence, me not quoting it.

and I don't like really long quotes so I removed the rest. I didn't change any of your words.

And I, and I'm sure a few others, didn't find it arrogant nor condescending, simply misguided.

Canada is indeed a foreign country and the US has every right to request whatever documentation they require from foreign nationals - regardless of what country they come from, including Canada. We are not Americans - we are Canadians. There is a difference. The privileges of being a Canadian are available to us - in Canada.

It goes both ways too. I know several Americans who were deemed inadmissible to Canada for previous crimes and they were pissed and ranted about how they had a right to go there despite their criminal records...

actually I don't think that its unreasonable to think that Canadian/American couples should have an easier time. A reasonably large chunk of us can just cross the border and look for work under NAFTA, no long application process or interview involved. And (this is me opening a huge can of worms) we are much more likely to just meet during non-visa-mediated encounters. I'd suggest that there is a much lower proportion of Can/Am marriage based immigration fraud because of this closeness. (actually I don't think that marriage based immigration fraud is as prevalent as is depicted in the media, regardless of the country)

The process is ridiculously long, but I'd be happy if they'd just stop making us go to Montreal or Vancouver for a pointless 3 minute interview. If they'd waive the interviews for the typical Can/Am couple they'd solve the backlog and acknowledge the close relationship between the two countries.

I second that!

maybe to make the interview feel like something is on the line, they should make it harder. have it where your spouse has to attend, put you in seperate rooms, and then ask 100 questions, and your spouse has to get 99 correct! lol
