They have a chip on their shoulders and have absolute authority. They are able to put comments in their computer which can deny you access if they don't like the way you look. You can't even joke with them, they never smile<br /><br />You were probably searched because you gave the wrong answers when he asked you questions, esp how long you expected to be in the Country. You have to have "positive" answers. How long . . . "23 days Sir", "I am going to a Bike Rally in Whitehorse"<br /><br />On my bike I was once asked: "how much money do you have on you?" I said $43.00. He said: "Let me see it". I pulled out $48.something (change). He looked at me and said "how come you told me $43. and you actually have $48." then he asked "Have you ever been arrested ?" believe me, I dislike going across the border too.<br /><br />have a nice trip, but you will find that most Canadians are friendly.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14805736@N04/" rel="nofollow">My Flickr</a> // <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bobskoot" rel="nofollow">My YouTube</a><br /><br />PS: Welcome to CanadaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-51935229404904816162012-06-28T09:40:01.571-04:002012-06-28T09:40:01.571-04:00Hey George, be safe buddy, I hope you are having a...Hey George, be safe buddy, I hope you are having a great time, and I wish I was riding along side you. I've heard so many horror stories from people trying to cross into Canada, that it almost seems like it is more trouble than it's worth going there. I plan on doing a trip up there next year on the Goldwing. I look forward to reading your great reviews of the places that you visit and seeing your photo's. Stay safe, hopefully we will meet up at the Brick when you return.GoldwingRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920923766541998026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-88774838920698821232012-06-28T00:08:15.062-04:002012-06-28T00:08:15.062-04:00Ooooh you got a 'secondary' at the border....Ooooh you got a 'secondary' at the border. When they pull you over and search your vehicle. Been there, done that and that was with hubby who is Canadian and we were returning home in BC. We've never had trouble getting into the US, just returning to Canada. We have found in past experience the Canadian border guards are a little testy especially the female ones.<br /><br />Great pics.

I was once been hold by the US authorities for no apparent reason. Nobody talked to me, or explained what was going on. They took my papers and left. So I pulled out my Kindle and started reading. An hour later I got my passport back, and could go. No explanation given. I shrugged it off, and went my ways. Traveling in Europe is so much easier...<br /><br />Anyhow, safe travels and watch out for moose and grizzlies.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575417631109784818.post-34783862287860417122012-06-27T21:10:52.882-04:002012-06-27T21:10:52.882-04:00What a challenging entrance into Canada.

I've always gave them my best estimate on the number of days. Then all they seemed to care about was if I had enough money to spend and if I had any guns. I even ran into a random checkpoint on the Cassiar in the early 80s where they were asking about guns.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
