The only port which I can think of which I have received lots of positive feedback from clients this year is Highgate Springs, VT.

I just don't understand why people keep using the ports. Why don't Canadians just use the Toronto and Vancouver International Airports ?

AFAIK, the CBPs at the airports have the same authority as CBPs at a land crossing and can bar you if they feel like it just the same. I don't see how or why it would be any different.

The difference with a land border is that it's easier to refuse, because you can just drive back. If they refuse entry at an airport it's a much bigger mess for them to deal with because you have to fly back.

To be honest all I do is tell them I'm entering on vacation or to do some shopping, which I do generally do as well while I'm there. Canadians enter in the B-1/2 category which is the same category for tourism and business trips anyway. If you happen to go to a business meeting while you're there as well, meh, is it that big of a deal?

except all Canadian international airports have US customs pre-clearing, so you're not flying back, you're just driving home in most cases. Unless you've flown in from some smaller airport with a connection at an international.

Not all Cdn airports have pre-clearing, Saskatoon doesn't, and they have flights into MSP! But why would US customs care if they deny you, they don't foot the bill to send u back home! And if u stated to the POE that ur entering as a vistito and they prove otherwise, that could lead to a lot of problems. Slim sure, but ya never know.
