If you are denied a TN or other work type visa, it is possible to later go to the US for vacation. IF you do not have anything with you (and they WILL search your luggage and personal belongings!) that even slightly resembles anything work related or searching for work related. No resumes with you, no business cards, no lists of companies etc etc etc.

Plus you have to have evidence with you that you will in fact be returning to Canada at the end of your vacation. A job to get back to, a home with bills you're paying for. Then they Might let you in. There are no guarantees.

I wrote that. Canadians are removed, its a reality. Don't think it doesn't happen, it does. This year there were a significant amount of TN applicants removed (lifetime bar) on fraud charges. They were attempting to renew using the Economist profession. They clearly are not economists, they were financial analysts. I am not aware of whether they were criminally prosecuted.

The Western ports are notorious for using expedited removal.

hey guys,

i was denied entry to states 5 years on the basis that i was entering US without valid visa being a canadian citizen. i was not aware of the visa requirements. i paid a lawyer in buffalo to get it cleared, but baically he did nothing and took the money. i didn't bother as i never felt a need to go to states.

its been 5 years now, can i just tey going to US as a visitor now? or do i have to inform US customs and get my name cleared? can some one through some light how this whole thing works? i dont even have any papers that i got from customs at that point, so i dont know who to contact and get it cleared.

What was the reason you were denied entry before? What were you trying to do when they denied your entry and barred you?
