The article seems to indicate that Canada did have an issue:
> Canadian authorities told her to go back to the US and fill in new paperwork before returning to cross into Canada.
It seems that she was detained after re-entering the US upon being refused entry into Canada.
- Svip 2y agoAh. I missed that; maybe Canada only recognises the US visa stay if one entered the US first. I did this research back in 2017, and I may misremember some details.

- toast0 2y agoThis site now has a popup for the US > Important information about visiting: United States > If you are NOT a US CITIZEN and are planning to visit to work, volunteer or study, YOU WILL NEED THE CORRECT VISA. To find out more information you need to contact the embassy in your home country BEFORE traveling. But a quick look around near me looks like work for immigration purposes, so someone on a tourist visa to the US should not be participating.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoIf you are trying to get a visa anywhere, it's very standard for them to ask if you have ever been denied entry to any country, and it raises a lot of red flags (regardless of the reason). It's entirely possible she mentioned the denial when talking to the US authorities, and that caused them to detain her until she could be suitably deported.
