Canadian Immigration Problems

My girlfriend from Mexico tried to
visit me (SEPT. 8/2007) in
Montreal, Quebec. I am a Canadian
citizen in Montreal and was waiting
for her at the airport for almost
2 hours before they finally let her
call me. She was absolutely
horrified with what was going on.
I was in shock listening to her cry
.They searched through all her
belongings.She told me they didn't
even want
to here what she had to say and
yelled at her "You're going back to Mexico.you can't come into Canada." Treating her like a criminal, they also handcuffed her and searched her
vigorously. I used the immigration
phone in the airport and the woman
was very impatient and even raised
her voice at me saying "She's
being deported!" Apparently she
needed a "Temporary Residence Visa"
They would not let
me see her and took her to a
detention center in a van like they
use for hardcore criminals with
locks everywhere, before her flight
the next morning at 8am. We both
had looked into details of any
requirements she needed before
coming to Canada just to visit for
a month and immigration people on
both sides said "just to visit she
doesn't need anything". She is
completely and utterly traumatized by trying to come to Canada.

i am so sorry for what you both had to endure. i totally feel you; it's crazy and can severely traumatize you! call me weak but i still have nightmares over my experience
