marlasinger said:I was under the impression, based on what I've read, that while you are technically refused entry into the US, nothing was entered into their system, and was more like a US border agent just making it easier for you. I don't see why you would have to ever say you were refused entry if it's not ever dealt with in a formal way that left mark on your "record", so to speak. I mention this because I was thinking about flagpoling to meet my husband at Peace Bridge when he lands so I can be there with him and I've never heard anyone say anything to this effect before.
The other option, of course, is to just spend a couple hours in the states before coming back across to Canada.
I'm hoping you're right in regards to the flagpoling. If we do end up having to do that, I will ask if we need to mention it in future trips. The research i've done on it seems pretty conflicting, but even having to mention it, they would have why you were refused in the systems and likely would not be a big deal. Unfortunately for us, my wife is not visa-exempt from the USA and isn't allowed to enter officially.
