CanadaFirst Trip Back to the Motherland
Ok, so next week I'm heading to Canada for the first time since I've moved. We will be flying to Spokane, WA and having my brother pick us up. He lives in a small border town on the BC/Idaho border.. here are my questions..

I was recently laid off and I'm afraid (after watching that homeland security show ha) that they may not let me in. Now, we are not poor by any means, my has a good job and I was given a heavy severance. Yall think this will be an issue. Hopefully I will have another engineering job by the time I leave, but I'm just being paranoid.. What do I need to show them at the border, each way? and should I bring anything else with me? like ties to the US? Obviously my kids both American will be there... What more proof could they want ha.

thanks.

hmmmm 2 weeks I think for me..

I was worrying the entire 2 weeks that the house would burn down and my passport with it smile.gif

haha.. My cat knocked a glass of water on mine while I was out of town for work.. Only kinda messed up the inside cover..

I had planned on moving in about 6 weeks, but I only made it 3 weeks..

It is, my parents tried to get me to eat sandwiches with Vegemite on them for school when we lived in Australia but I just couldn't do it. Stuff is freaking nasty...

Ive never seen it in person, just pictures... Cant say that I ever want to try it...

HAHAHA..

I didn't either but I applied initially for regular benefits but I didn't get my ROE in on time and the denied it then Right after ai had our son so they sent me a form for parental.. sent that in with my ROe and few days later got a payment.. Don't be fooled you do not get 55% of what you made.. Well you do up to $464 a week I think.. Here I was hoping I was gonna get like 3500-4000 a month boy was I wrong hahaha..
