Do you mean stay longer? They can't see tickets but can certainly question you.

I meant i plan two stay here for two weeks but initially it was two months which is why my return ticket is 2 months from now. Sooooo they wouldnt know about my return ticket unless i bring it up? They cant look in there system to find it?

I don’t know if CBSA can, however from working at the airport I know that US Customs has access to all airline systems . They’d occasionally come and ask me what certain things meant in reservations, or how to read the history of reservations
As well both agencies typically have someone with the airlines they can ask.
They have access to more information then you think

But don't they usually ask people to hand them there return ticket? If thats the case why even ask if they can look in the system?

So do u think it will backfire on me now that i say im only stayin here for 2 weeks even though my return ticket is 2 months from now?
Why don't you tell the truth? Say the plan was for two months but now I can only stay two weeks.

Um yes and i will tell them im stayin two weeks which is the case. Wat exactly id your point?
What is the point of this whole thread then......just tell the truth and you should be good.

Also the other day I believe you were asking the opposite, what if you say two weeks and end up staying longer.

I dont understand the point of u even replying to the thread if u feel its pointless. Especially wen if u actually read it u would have realized that this is OLD and im already in canada.

Maybe I was just trying to help you. Also by the forum standards this thread certainly is not old....lol.

Also am I going crazy or is this thread the exact opposite of what you asked on Wednesday?

"I said two weeks and wrote two weeks on the card but i feel like staying longer."
