@1981, Adelaide, no worries..the media is famous for not providing all details, or fabricating details..One subject that is "never mentioned" because it is so difficult Is the fact that someone has mental health issues...This can be listed in CPIC, especially if they tried to commit suicide, with a child around, or threatened a spouse/partner with suicide. Or if they have been found not "criminally responsible" for a criminal action...This can and will be a reason to deny a person into the USA..but thankfully, is not common. Another tabo issue is "health related issues" again a very touchy subject, but it does exists.
@Jazzsax1 The circumstances also matter. So that could be a factor.
@JOhn Rogers - agreed!
#1981
This response at #1981 wasn't the literate and literary Adelaide who left this "apology" here for @Michelle. Just as the lowercase @michelle at #1978 is most likely not the authentic Michelle.
Seems the fool has more time on his hands and tries to get around the paucity of English language skills by leaving and posting simple and short sentences since his inability to construct anything cogent, comprehensive and cohesive will surely give his ruse away.
Seems our hebetudinous muppet who John Rogers correctly identified as Hats... has time on his hands.
One would hope he would let it go and not pollute the sight (as he did before) with his nonsensical dross.
So, applied for my waiver on October 2nd through the new Esafe system.
Received my waiver today (not a renewal)
I live 30 mins from border, crossed same day as approval issued with no issues!
Highly reccomend Esafe application if a port near you does the biometric portion of the application.
Offence was from 2012. I have applied twice in the past and both times declined mainly due to not enough time passed. Prior to Esafe, it took me 20 months at one point to receive a decline letter.
Getting a waiver in 9 days is amazing!
I'd like to hear from someone who has never applied before and did eSafe to see what the processing/approval time was. I live 2 hours from a border crossing, but I'd consider flying to Toronto to file eSafe if all the approvals are coming back in 2 weeks and under vs. 2 months +
I haven't seen anything from anyone recently about how long the paper submissions are taking to be approved either. Comments?
Thanks!
@BackToUSA
Did you not read the post i posted right before you?
I applied as a fresh application and no existing waiver in place through Esafe on October 2nd.
I received a 1 year waiver on October 11th.
It took 9 days
Yes it is worth the flight
#1996 yes I read your message but you also previously applied. Refused, but you would be in a system somewhere I assume. Looking for a reply from someone who has never applied, never been accepted or rejected before.
And can anyone enlighten me on the procedure for getting a time slot at Toronto Pearson? I’m getting anything from they don’t do it anymore to “get there at 2am to sign a list that gets posted at 430am”.
My understanding is that being denied has no impact on the process so it’s essentially a brand new application
If you do apply with Esafe, you can go whenever. I went to Blaine WA at 10pm

Do not go to Pearson Airport for Esafe.
I go every time they are open, (1st and third Tuesday of the month) and they simply make an excuse and turn you away.
So today, the first guy in line waited from 2am to when they opened, 10:30 (that's right they never open at 8) This was his second time trying at Pearson. (he was there on October 1st) Homeland Security guy looks at him when he mentions eSafe, makes a face, and tells him to go to "Buffalo". I had warned him that they probably were not going to take it DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ONLY OPEN BECAUSE OF Esafe!!!
The guy who got turned away told the other 2 esafe people to not bother and they are all going to go to Niagara Falls (except for the first guy, who is worried "Buffalo" only means the Peace Bridge)
If you want the full nightmare, call me. 905-459-9669 pr 416-843-1371. I left at 11:30. At 1220 a guy called me. They were only up to number 15.
Esafe itself is a great program it seems. Pearson....not so much.
#1999 John Rogers - thank you. Now I have to figure out if I want to add in a 2+ hour drive to the 2+ hour flight.
When I have my documents prepared I will give you a call. Thanks!!
