@Michelle when I have clients with licenses, I have been advising them to hide it.

My concern right form the beginning with this Govt has been that once you reveal a licence, you cannot "take that back" and I was worried that it might show the person "is still involved in using narcotics" even though the whole thing is ridiculous.

I told them that you can always show it in the future when things have "stabilized" but I was worried about the possible ramifications of being honest about it to this government.

Its new ground, and I prefer to reveal less until I know more.

#21You are correct as we have a big problem with this issue in BC. IF CBP gets a single indication that you are involved with Marijuana, you are screwed. Then there is a high possibility that you will need a waiver and not likely will qualify for A September Letter...since now they do the sworn statements much better and they are hard to overturn now.

We do have a page on our site regarding this topic as we have been preaching for a long time now. If you admit to weed smoking or any involvement in the Cannabis industry like employment, investments or more...you are screwed.

Now they are really gonna ramp up screening after October 17th and people need to be aware of what happens when you admit to smoking weed. We are trying to make people aware of the system that is in place

Also, note that this is a blog that we wrote in August 2016. Ignore the September Letter part since you likely will only qualify for a waiver. The point is that people need to understand how the system is designed and show you how you can protect yourself from harm.

This is simply not true or at least you cannot paint everyone with one brush. I am a person of color who received a 5 yr start to finish in 5mo. Not trying to give anyone false hope but the bottom line is I’m living proof of fair treatment and pretty good processing times

#25 @Doug Chainy

Just curious what you needed your waiver for? Care to elucidate?

True you cannot paint everyone with the same brush.Ideally one should take people as individuals first and foremost... we know this isn't the case however.

Unfortunately Latinos coming into America get scrutinized as do Muslims. If you're Black ... well America has historically not been very kind to this segment of the populace... of the 400 years (this month actually) Blacks have been in America for 350 of those years there was LEGISLATED discrimination against them. There are still a couple generations of whites alive (whose formative years were during Jim Crow - INCLUDING Trump) whose ideas have been shaped by that era and were part of this historical record.

You're narrative is just that ...YOUR narrative and is very singular. It would be intellectually dishonest to discount the historical record of America's treatment of people of colour (although Asians sometimes often fall outside this "classification" as they battle the myth of being the "model minority").

It is what it is and trying to discount the Trump Administration and their cruel immigration policies (under Stephen Miller's oversight) as it pertains to non-whites ... well the proof is in the pudding.

Let me give you a brief lesson here.

Unfortunately, white Caucasian Europeans have been the colonizers of the world with the UK leading the way. They have been on the winning side and had to admit that they made several gaffes in recent times. Their efforts gave way to modern borders and christian conversion missionary campaigns. Severe famine and wars in these once colonized newly independent nations has endured for years. A new wave of immigration has taken hold and has shocked the western world.

The US were once british colonies. Thirteen colonies joined together and launched a revolution. The United States were build on 3 principles listed by a british philosopher :

1) no government intervention
2) free expression or right to religion
3) nobody can enter your property without your invitation

The forefathers of the United States allowed people to have guns to protect their property and welcomed thousands of christian sects into their territory.

The british had a tendency to enslave locals of the newly colonized territories. They brought millions of Africans into the colonies. They also enslaved many Aboriginals.

Unfortunately, the white colonizers who all of a sudden became American had so many slaves that they started to be afraid of them. They feared a slave revolution. They began purchasing more guns. They went on to seize more than 1/3 of Mexican territory (Spanish territory) and kill thousands more Aboriginals.

The Christian sects would indoctrinate the masses by spewing lies. They gained a stronghold predominantly in the South and this led rise to the US civil war. The African population and enslaved Aboriginals were free at last at the conclusion of this war. However, many Americans never quite accepted that. They have passed on the same beliefs to their offspring. They also have a political party to represent them with radical factions within the organization. Often, christian evangelical sects lead the way.

In recent times, US foreign policy has done more harm than good. They have not exported democracy. They are the new colonizers, invading and depleting the natural resources of other nations often through economic war. They have let drug cartels ravage South America.

The US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other South American or European nations opened up their borders after WW2 but only white Caucasians were permitted in reality. All these countries were majority white. This wasn't really an issue because most newcomers had christian upbringings and they increased the white demographic.

After the cold war, the US began a new policy which was termed globalization. They exported thousands of jobs to less industrialized nations and welcomed newcomers from all over the world. Most majority white nations were now quite self sufficient and immigration to North America had ceased. The majority were now part of the western world with a new collective block known as the EU. They all decided to follow the same US policy.

Majority now want the American life. The American dream in a nutshell: a family with kids, a high paying job, a new car and a big house. This belief has damaged the social fabric of society. Raw capitalism at its finest. Seek and destroy, pollute and profit.

In the early 2000s, many white Caucasians were not quite happy. Jobs were hard to find and they had mixed feelings about all these newcomers like the muslims, Africans, Indians and Latinos. They had a high regard towards Asians in general because they worked hard with no complaints.

Today, white demographics are shifting. They have less children, aging and dying. Many white majority countries have a negative population growth. They have many years of history that they want to preserve and protect at all costs. They view the EU as a tool to wipe them out. The newcomers have more children and there is a fear that one day blond blue eyed human beings will become extinct.

Furthermore, the US and EU are losing ground to newly emerging players like China, Iran and Russia. These countries do not play by the rules. So, we indoctrinate the masses into believing they are evil. All the other emerging countries seem to play the game and capitalizing on globalization.

The muslims didn't really help themselves either. The recent Muslim attacks in the western world have generated fear amongst the white population. The muslims have mass proselytizing campaigns. It is quite disturbing to hear that the perpetrators of these attacks were once white children brought up in christian homes who kill in the name of a different religion. A religion which the western world views as oppressive.

The white supremacists who were always a minority have gathered lots of support in recent times. Many politicians are elected who espouse the same beliefs more or less. Recent illegal muslim immigration to Europe has been a driving force for all these marginal groups. Europe is in the middle of an existential crisis.

Nobody can blame the new Muslim or economic migrants. They dream of a better life. The western world should have never interfered into their affairs. If only the western leaders had not allowed for religious radical groups to co-exist in these majority muslim countries. If only, Africa was not as poor. We have ourselves to blame.

Criminal records were never an issue in the 90s or before that. 9/11/2001 changed that. American politicians had to reassure the population, so they hit on immigration. They wanted a fast and easy solution. They were quite clever.

Slowly slowly, many basic freedoms were thrown out. What was freedom infringement back then is now a privilege. So whoever has a criminal record is a cast off, no longer wanted. People were indoctrinated into believing this. Our personal information is easily accessible with the help of technology. Anybody can use it and interpret it the way they see fit.

All these sudden changes have split the population into two dangerous political factions: the radical left and right. The majority has no longer a voice.

It is up to the majority sane people to rise up and re-establish a new order. It's time, we try to fix social problems and injustice.

#27 @Bombazinga1

Didn't really need the "brief lesson", as it were, as I'm really quite very conversant in the damaging effects of colonialism and having spent half my life in 'murica am probably a little more tuned into the culture and history as it stands now than most Canadians who just travel rather than live there.

Nevertheless it is not outside the realm of possibility that your analysis will possibly present itself as "thought for food" (to flip the script as it were) for others on here.

@Adelaide

The whole purpose of my post was to highlight how history keeps on repeating itself. It seems we don't learn from past mistakes.

I would like to reaffirm that waivers are completely ridiculous. Weed is slowly being decriminalized and legalized in US states but CBP agents continue to deny people for admitting to smoking pot. Adultery is still a crime for many US states and some still arrest people for their sexual orientation while it has been legalized nationwide. How can you judge someone on a past criminal record? What is considered a crime today, may no longer be a crime tomorrow.

Canada also denies entry to people convicted of drunk driving. I don't even know how this could possibly be considered a crime. It's very easy to revoke someone's license for driving drunk or under the influence of drugs, make them pay 50k as a fine. When they start imposing 50k fines, nobody will ever drive drunk again. Why give them a criminal record? Again, if someone dies because of a driver under the influence, the victim's family seeks revenge. This is a social problem that nobody has the guts to solve. Instead they let the lousy cops and courts deal with it.

In domestic violence situations, the no good cops show up and arrest someone when its finally too late. The victim may actually be the aggressor and the aggressor may have endured years of victimization to commit a horrible act. Another social issue that nobody is willing to solve.

As a society, we rather let others solve what we cannot. Then we cast these people off as criminals..

The hypocrisy behind all these so called Christians. We are taught to forgive and forget. Yet, I don't see that implemented. Many still favor the death penalty and seek revenge after someone has committed a horrible act against them. However, Jesus turned the other cheek.

Makes you wonder how society works.

Many who lost someone through a horrible act would call me out and say: if it happened to me, I would also seek revenge. If I also started to list the number of people who have brought harm to me in different other ways, I would run out paper. People do bad things sometimes and we must learn to forgive them. This goes for the US and Canadian officials who shouldn't discriminate on past criminal convictions to please a certain type of citizens.

Whatever

I wouldn't trust this John Rogers.

A friend of mine happened to trust him and he still got refused at the border. He ripped him off totally. A couple of 1000$ down the toilet.

Better to do the waiver on your own.

Stop the arguing, people want real help.

#30 I will say that I do not believe that John Rogers would rip someone off. He is not the kind of guy that will do this kind of thing. I have a lot of trouble believing that this is the case. I have been away from this forum for a long time and have now returned. We have been way too busy with cases and such for me to have the time to dedicate here but I am back now.

Again, John is not the kind of guy that would rip someone off. I will say that he has a different personality than me but he is not a thief. I would also argue against doing your own waiver since some of these cases are complicated and people need professional assistance.

I get way too many people coming to us after that have used Discount Waiver Companies in Toronto and have been ripped off or provided a very poor service. It is a lot of major work getting them an approval and undoing the damage from these Toronto DWCs.

I do not recommend that people do their own cases unless they have something simple as have a conviction for stealing a car in 1972 and now want to enter the USA.

www.usentrywaiverservices.com

These cases are going to become more complex with all the changes coming down the chain.

Btw #30 what was the conviction(s) for your friend? Why did he specifically get denied? What do you mean refused at the border? Do you mean refused entry?

John Rogers (trusted member) Trusted

Has anyone actually heard from Ken Scott outside of here?

I ask because this is NOT the log-in he used to use. The posts sound a bit like him, but that's easy to fake.

He posted with K SCOTT and now it is KSCOTT. If he is denying changing his log-in then this is not him. I also asked him to contact me on Wattsapp (he has done so a few times in the past) and he hasn't.

Anyone?

John Rogers (trusted member) Trusted

@HatsBootsHatsBoots this is the same log in name you used, so I assume this is you. The idiot in question that we are all ignoring not only says that he is close friends with you and your girlfriend, but he seems to know a lot about you. He has never criticized you, but touted you. He has attacked myself, Michelle, Adelaide and Jazzsax1, mainly because we are the ones posting on a regular or semi-regular basis.

His musings are exactly like yours. I even commented before he got out of hand that he sounded exactly like you.

Just wondering why you commented on him by saying "i must have pissed someone off". Yes anyone who says stupidity or gives bad advice gets pissed off when I tell everyone they are wrong.

I am not saying this is you, but its a bit coincidental and that is the easiest explanation. Why else would anyone else suddenly defend you when you haven't even posted in a long time?

Interesting story on CBC about Muslims being denied entry into the United States.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tasker-canadian-muslims-us-border-crossing-1.5264218?fbclid=IwAR1ZuAw0Du5r_Cp0a1xeVlmHfil_ticeNZ6IpTGWFS9SbAnaGB-CoyaL4wE

Immigration Lawyers are saying Muslims who are Canadian Citizens are arbitrarily being denied entry.

The second link is in case the first one does not work.

@ John Rogers

Did you see my posting under Waiver Inadmissibility #50?
I addressed it to you and Michelle and was just wondering if you had any response to it.

Thanks.

And it seems the "hijacker" here has momentarily calmed down although the phraseology used in some of the postings sounds suspiciously similar to another person on here from before.

HatsBootsHatsBoots (trusted member) Trusted

@John Rogers

Look John, I don't know who this person is and why he referred to me. I do know that you did mention me so whoever it, they must of found it a little amusing. Furthermore, I apologized if this person caused you any psychological distress even though I have no idea what happened or who this individual seems to be.

I do come often to read but I don't posts anymore because I find it useless. We have already discussed that in the past. You have quite the attitude and ego. I don't talk to bullies. I have a feeling that it was you that staged this along, kinda like an attention seeker of some sorts.

Let's be thankful that the "hijacker" didn't bring down the website because I don't know how you would kill your time.

Anyways, have a great long weekend.
