Hello all, just to inform you guys that I completed my landing yesterday by land at st bernard de lacolle border. Drove to the US border and made a u turn to the Canadian border post after seeing the US immigration.
Wish everyone still expecting the best of luck.
I got the same news.
I went through the landing process yesterday , at Stansted-Vermont entry point. However , my landing was a bit more spectacular!! ;D ;D
I asked a ride from a friend of mine. It was the first time we reached that border , and there is really not much of a demarcation between .
By the time we wanted to make the U-turn, we were already on the US territory ... and that (making a U-turn before going through the checking...) is a very very very bad idea. As we were turning , about 5 or 6 border officeers approached the car , and we were redirected into the US. The car was confiscated for a while (and searched of course), our ID were taken , and we were told to wait.
Well , in the end , we explained that the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding , and luckly none among us had any police/criminal background. The US border officer just sent us back to Canada , where I completed my landing process.
By the way , the Canadian border officer was nice and very welcoming.
She asked me a very few things : Just my residential address , how much money I had (just for proving the self-sufficiency) , that was about it ... and a few jokes.
for anyone who engage is accompanied to the border, please make sure that any accompanying person has HIS PASSPORT before crossing the Canadian border, and everything will be alright.
Today , I got the SSN , and initiated the RAMQ (medical insurance)card process.
Stay blessed & keep hope alive , fellas !
