Denied entry to canada, attempting to return

[inchbean]

In may of this year my fiancee was denied entry into Canada - We didn't have a return ticket, and the border agent wasn't satisfied that he could support himself financially while he was here (he had little cash in his wallet and they wouldn't allow him to withdraw cash from a bank machine to show that he does have money). We are attempting another visit in October, this time with a round trip ticket and funds in the form of Canadian currency and travelers checks (As well as other documents to show his ties to the US). However, when he attempted his visit in may, he was a Mexican national, not a US citizen, and his travel documents included a Mexican passport and his US alien registration card. This time he will be travelling on a US passport, as he is now a US citizen ( His interview and his oath were taken on August 8th). My question is will he still be facing additional questioning at the airport? Will the "flag" still show us as he is now travelling with a different passport and passport number? As well as a different name on the passport ( Mexican passports include the mothers maiden name, whereas US ones don't)? And if it does still show up, will it cause even more problems?

i am not an expert here but since he has all his supporting documents for all th name change and citizen change, methinks there shouldnt be a problem that can not be resolved by showing all the necessary documents. just be sure to have everything handy in case they ask of it.

I guess I'm mostly wondering if this previous "enforcement action" will show up when they scan his new passport, as it will be an entirely new passport number.

Was he given an exclusion order?

from your initial post, it seems that he was simply refused entry due to reasons of insufficient funds. it doesn't look like an "enforcement action" unless there is some aspect of the refusal that you have not detailed here. but again even if he has a new passport and new name, remember that when filling some forms, they always ask people to indicate their previous names and alliases. So yes, it may show up that he was refused entry previously. however, its not a crime in itself to be refused entry so this should not be of concern to you all. and like i said before, if you are going on a clean slate, there shouldnt be any reason to worry. but of course, you can call cic, they should be in a position to give you better answers i believe. i hope this somehow helps.

I know this is an old topic, but I don't think it was pointed out sufficiently what could have been done to avoid this problem. mfoniso is right that you could call the cic, but I've heard of so many cases where people are denied entry because the border guard is suspicious of "insufficient funds". If you have any reason to believe this could happen in the future, its best to check ahead of time by gettin a TRP (explained well in this youtube vid youtube.com/watch?v=HunrhDeLQj0). In my exp. this is a pretty surefire way of avoiding border problems...

CIC/CHC is NOT going to issue a TRP for "insufficient funds" TRPs are for persons inadmissible to Canada who have real need to be in Canada.
