chiefjay Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You people never drive into Canada do you? They will ask you the purpose of your visit, they'll ask you where you're staying, how long you're staying for, and some other questions that take enough time to adequately suss out any potential of having guns, explosives, or drugs in your car. If you have a DUI, they will not know then and there, and they will not attempt to verify this information except in an extreme circumstance after you've been detained and your passports confiscated. Answer the questions truthfully and to the best of your ability and you will be fine. There's no reason you need to bring up qualifications of employment or past legal issues with a Canadian customs official, who are generally friendly and personable, unlike their jackbooted counterparts coming back into the country who have a look about them like they're waiting for any excuse to bust open the bridge of your nose with the butt-end of their pistols. Yep, this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 BTW: Towards the end of the shoot, we will have a 3 day location at the Embarcadero in Seattle. Be the perfect time to get together with some Seattle Huddlers. The Embarcadero is in San Francisco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Picked up my passport card today. Kind of hassle since all I had was a hospital issued birth certificate. Had to next day rush an actual state issued birth certificate for those of you that might be applying in the future. Cost was only $58 and I had my passport in 2 days at $115.

tazinib1 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I got turned back. I'm in Mt.Vernon right now. We got pulled into secondary and after waiting 2 hours, the agent showed me my arrest record. I can't cross legally for 5 years. As we speak, there is a taz smuggling operation in motion. I'll be in Canada in a few days. Nice hotel I'm in though....I got the manager of the bar that is part of the hotel to 6 pack me beers on a whim's notice.

I've never been "up nort dere" but smuggling into a country sounds like a recipe for adding to that arrest record. You might want to figure out a way to get back home and find another gig.

You might want to figure out a way to get back home and find another gig. This gig is $15k. I need it....I'll risk the "illegal alien" tag. And for what its worth, i now feel for the Mexican border crossers...kinda weird when you are put in their position..makes you think.

matt770 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 So your employer is cool with you coming up there illegally? No concerns that they could get shut down and the whole crew sent home, and then being banned from ever working in Canada again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
