Flagpole on weekend?

[indianstudent96]

Thank you for replying and apologies for my late reply. Yes, I was able to flagpole on a Saturday afternoon and they said that they’re open 24/7. I got stuck for three hours on the American side as they denied us entry even though we had valid US visas. However, they were very polite and friendly and kept apologising. On the Canadian side it hardly took them half an hour to process our PR. After that we went back to USA for dinner just to make sure that we weren’t inadmissible and they processed our entry into USA very fast. The American border service officers even suggested places where we could have dinner in the small neighbouring border town of Calais. Everything went smoothly and we entered back into Canada using our temporary resident visas.
So everyone’s information Saint Stephen border is open 24/7 and you can flagpole on weekends too

I am wondering why they denied you entry into the US initially. When I flagpoled, I told the officer that I was going across the border for shopping, but he looked at me suspiciously, so I told him I was actually there to flagpole and he had no problems letting me in. I had a valid US visitor visa in an Indian passport.

This is misleading. Not all Ontario borders do that. Only a select few in the south do it. I flagpoled on a weekend night in Sault Ste. Marie and it went pretty well.

Is that open on Sunday too

Can anybody tell if we can flagpole on weekend?

thank you

Yes, it is allowed to do a flagpole at Saint Stephen at the weekend. One of my friends did that on weekend as well.
