Incorrect USA Exits

[thecoolguysam]

Not everyone has to file an I-94. I have experienced instances where US CBP did an exit inspection, scanned docs, but the CBSA agent on the other side did not scan docs. Thus, and entry to Canada probably looks like an exit. This is why it is shear hubris to rely on border records alone to demonstrate physical presence.

usually CBP does not do exit inspection if you are travelling by land and entering canada. Can you tell me how CBP did an exit inspection and CBSA did not do anything? How and when did it happen?

Its just like it sounds. US CBP diverted all traffic exiting the US to the inspection booth and asked questions about what we were doing in the States, etc. They scanned docs. When we pulled up to the booth on the Canadian side, the CBSA officer couldn't have been bothered much, asked us where we lived, what we had and then waved us through. He didn't scan anything. This has happened several times. Its true that most times, US CBP does not do exit inspections, but occasionally, when they are bored, or there is an Amber alert or a fugitive look out or something, they do.

You can probably go your entire life and never encounter a US CBP exit inspection, but they do happen. They are probably more likely at a small low volume road crossing, where they have little else to do.
