Hi, Everyone



We haven't recieved my husband's passport back yet but I was wondering If someone could please advise

about what to tell them at the border when crossing to activate the visa..My husband has to finish up his contact job here in Toronto..what can he tell them about his belongings when crossing over the first time?

Do we make a list of the stuff and tell them it is to follow at a later time? Also which crossing is better the Peace Bridge, Kingston Lewiston Bridge, or the Rainbow Bridge? Thank you in advance..

I am not sure what you mean? will he have his passport stamped with the visa on it? cause he will need that to get through.

you can't activate the visa unless you actually have the visa which will be in the passport

I think Michelle wants to know what to tell the border people about her husband's stuff after they get the visa. It seems she's just trying to do some planning for when they cross the border.

Sorry, Michelle... don't know the answer for this.

As a new immigrant you have up to ten years to bring your personal effects over without duty. It's not like Canada where you have to give them a list that includes everything but the kitchen sink when you activate the visa, and anything not on that list is dutiable.... you can make a declaration of your accompanying goods each time that you enter the US.

If they ask you if you have anything, you can freely tell them not at this time and they will accompany you at a later daye while you settle your affiars in Canada.

RE: the bridge.

I personally like the Peace Bridge. I've crossed through all of them and find that this is the most PEACEFUL bridge re: visa's .

Yes this is what I was meaning...I know he needs the passport with the visa in it..Zyggy did answer my question. And thank you Buttons on which Bridge to cross. Montreal said today that they mailed the passport with the visa in it this morning..
