The story is missing an important detail, I'm not assuming malice btw, why was she refused entry into Canada as well? Edit: Lol, there's literally nothing wrong with this observation. HN has truly gone down the gutter. I know not everybody here is part of the hivemind but the few that are completely spoil the experience for everybody else.

That's what I was confused about. I was thinking my add blocking maybe cut out a paragraph from the text at first. > Canadian authorities told her to go back to the US and fill in new paperwork before returning to cross into Canada. If it's not mistake, and the article is complete, it sounds like the reporter skipped some important details about what Canada did. Hopefully an honest mistake.

  Canada has been cracking down on their border for the last year as well since the student worker controversy. It says: > She was planning to stay with a host family where she would carry out domestic chores in exchange for accommodation and was told she should have applied for a working visa, instead of a tourist visa She probably told the Canadian border that was her plan in Canada as well and told her she needs a work visa. Basically like a live in house keeper.

And none of the USA-bashers here seem to care about that. It got me thinking there's more to this story, too.

She was not detained by Canada's border service.

  Canada's border service sent her back to the US. At that point, the US can't exactly tell her to go back to Canada, and have her walk back and forth until the problem solves itself. Immigration detention pending a return to the country of origin seems reasonable at that point. 10 days of detention to figure out transportation to the country of origin doesn't seem reasonable though.

  Can you quote the specific part of my comment (or anybody's comment) where such thing is claimed?
