Not out of Vancouver, but I fly out of Toronto at least once a month and I've never had any major problems. Just the usual questions and i am sometimes asked to show documentation tying me to canada.. like proof of employment, property tax bills and for my immigration paperwork up until now.

When my K1 was processing at USCIS I flew out of Vancouver. That time I brought a letter from work stating that I was on holidays for the two weeks that I was gone, my itinerary with proof of return ticket, and my school schedule for the next semester. The immigration officer only asked to see my return ticket and he waved me through.

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...

I've always taken the receipt, a letter from my employer stating i am employed and property tax bills - if you rent, maybe take a rent receipt. they just want to make sure you have ties to canada. Good luck!!! if you go prepared, you'll be just fine! enjoy your trip : )

I take everything:

- last two pay stubs

- copy of lease

- most recent utility bills

- employment letter (similar to when you apply for a bank loan)

- letter from my MP (I've met through professional acquaintance)

Don't offer to share any 'fiance' information, and I've been asked who I'm visiting and whether he's a boyfriend or fiance. My simple answer is that I'm visiting. I've never been turned away but am always prepared to be....

Good luck

Yes, I have. See my July 4 post in the Yes, you can visit! thread. That was at the Vancouver airport. My May posts in that thread were about the Pacific border crossing when I took a bus to Seattle in March.
