nmclean said:Yes, but CBSA is responsible for enforcing decisions made by CIC. We are talking about someone with a valid visa that specifically allows them to re-enter Canada from the US. CBSA does not simply ignore this and make their own rules. They would need to issue a removal order to invalidate the visa, which is much more serious than simply turning someone away who requests to visit.
No it is not suspicious. At this point CIC has already approved, twice, 3 visas authorizing entry, as well as explicitly authorizing her two children to study in Canada (the children alone should be proof enough of residential ties). Once the officer saw this documentation, there shouldn't even have been further questioning. It's possible that there is something more to this story we don't know that would be legitimately suspicious, but it is also quite possible that the officer was simply jumping the gun.
i think your dates are off. i don't think she had been approved 3 times nor i'm not sure her children were in school at the time of her last entry in January 2015? it is now june 2016, so wouldn't the 3 extension have been granted AFTER that entry? How many times were the extensions granted BEFORE that date? to me, it's sounding like you are taking her situation NOW and trying it apply it to January 2015. her situation is not the same it was then, so CBSA's evaluation would be different. perhaps my dates and understandinge are off, but i don't see mention in this conversation that her kids started school in canada prior to january 2015. anywho, it's a moot point, since the OP is not bothering with the border at this point in the game and this conversation has nothing to do with her actual problem. i guess we will have to agree to disagree on CBSA entries.
