The point is that Canadians think they are Americans, getting upset when border officers question them about what they are coming to do here.

It's sobering to realize that many who have studied, worked, and built lives in Canada may now be left in limbo. The question isn't just about policy—it’s about identity, belonging, and the kind of future Canada envisions for itself. Can a nation remain strong while turning away those who have already contributed to its strength?

How the government is coordinating numbers of newcomers in relation to number of doctors added to the system? Same question applies to number of beds in hospitals, numbers of medical personnel, teachers etc

I went earlier this year. I was the only vehicle at what typically would be a very busy crossing. The only difference, while in the lane, they asked me to open my trunk and examined the contents while I remained in the lane. I went forward with no issues. I was not stopped coming back. Before you go, make sure your vehicle is clear of any thing that could generate additional questions.
