So I got turned back at the border...
Apparently having "web developer" as a job is considered "suspicious" when entering the US, because they've caught on that I can do my job anywhere.
Since I couldn't "prove" that I was going to relax, rather than work... they denied me entry. I said "I can work in Florida, I can work at home.... I can relax under the hot sun on the beach in Florida, I can't at home... now why would you go thinking that I want to go there to work??" They said that since I could go online and work there, that they're not letting me in. After 2 hours of background checks and finger printing and stuff, they realized that I've got a squeaky clean life... and started being WAY nicer to me, in that they'd say "I'm really sorry, but we can't let you in". So I turn back, go to Canada's customs and she says "They denied you? How come?" and I said "Apparently they think I'm going down there to start a 1 week career" Despite her best efforts to contain it, she let out a laugh, handed me my ID and let me go. |

You should have turned around and gone back through. They would not have asked for your ID again.
Hey wait a minute......Your new employer is in FL....And you just happened to be going there to relax? Uh huh.....I'm onto you, buddy. |

That really sucks. And you would think it's just US/Canada border crossings - which used to be the most easy and friendly in the world for citizens of both countries.

And I really did have thoughts about going back through, but on the slim chance that they do pull that crap again, I'd be screwed. Plus, I'm pretty sure that I am now flagged. I doubt they'd spend that much time on me there and not try to screw with me somehow (other than how they already did today). |

When i go through customs i try to say as little as possible.
What do you do for a living: "i run my own media company" What does that do: "We deal with ad productions" i also never make conversation unless they are the ones who initiatie it. Next time just say "i am a computer programmer". But that is not gauranteed to work either. |

On behalf of your porn brethern in Amerika, I apologize for the guberment telling you "Canuck Go Home", and effectively declaring you persona non grata...undesireable...eh!
Fortunately, there is lots to see and do in Canada: ![]() A little ditty to cheer you up: We're the second largest country On this planet Earth And if Russia Keeps on shrinking Then soon we'll be first (as long as we keep Quebec) The USA has tanks And Switzerland has banks They can keep them, thanks They just don't amount 'Cause when you get down to it You find out what the truth is It isn't what you do with it It's the size that counts!

Always travel with a golf bag, you're a semi pro golfer and going to play a few rounds in the sun to practice cause courses SUCK in Canada.

Did they say you'd be redflagged or would it show in future crossings that you were declined?

That totally sucks!
Honesty is not always the best policy when at the U.S border. I usually have to lie to get through even when I'm not up to no good! For future reference, make up another profession, lol!

Stu, the thing that sux now is on your file when you hit US customs, either by car or boat or plane, they will read "Denied Entry" and you are set up for all sorts of hassles and further denials.

He's doing really well, and still growing faster than a super grow weed. He's 21 months now and wearing 4 year old's clothing. We just bought him size 9 (toddler's) shoes.
He makes me very proud. He already insists on having his own keyboard to pound away on ![]() |

Yup, made me go inside and get my fingerprints done. I heard the guy a little while later go "it's negative", which I presume to mean that there were no matches in their records.

I had the same thing happen to me once, you will be in the "blackbook" for a while 6 month ban.
Everytime now you will need documentation to get down there (if they allow you to go down) and you will have to go thru secondary screening at Immigration. As many "differences" as we have had recently I feel sorry for you about this as it's a huge pain in the ass to deal with and I would'nt wish it on my worst enemy. DH |

Yeah, like I said... had I of done that, there was the risk. And I might have taken it, except that they detained me for so long, that I'd have been late for my flight anyway, so there was no point anyway.

Not if you say you are going to deal with a Canadian contract and can show you have ties in the US. People are more likely to go down there to work than to come up here, you guys pay WAYYY less taxes.

On behalf of the country that I was born in, raised in, and made my money in, I would like to say that I am really sorry. I think that it most likely has more to do with the fact that people from canada are poor drivers, and look really bad in the speedo's, but you never know. But I am really sorry that happened. One day they will learn.

it's really funny how customs have their priorities mixed up. They tie you up for 2 hours over nothing, not to mention they are doing this based on the fact they think you might think refuge there. But what a waste of taxpayers money on this crap. Let the terrorists through, we need to stop Stuart because he might be moving here, what a real national threat.

What if you would have said you were meeting with a potential client that wanted to outsourse web development to your Canadian company - do you think they still would have denied you entry?
Just wondering? |

dont feel bad. I have been denied access at the border and im american lol.
Someone mentioned they "flag " you so you cant come back in. I dont think this happens most of the time as i have had troubles getting in before and if they deny you , just turn around and take a different lane.. over the last 5 years the "employment" issue is a big deal for the american border crossing agents. If they think for a second you wioll be taking a possible job away from an american they will deny you. Always say your travelling for a short funeral then coming straight back.

Oh, and thank goodness I have mainstream legit sites, because they actually went to them!
First they hassle me because I make websites and can work from anywhere, then they demand that I give them examples of some websites that I've made as proof that I really am a web developer. I swear, they just saw me coming and said "Let's not believe anything this guy says and have some fun with him." |
