Same, and I’m from Canada. Lots of international flights route thru the US. I have to make extra effort to avoid. Been doing that for 10 years. Just not worth the risk.
- seanmcdirmid 1y agoIsn’t that somewhat simplified by doing immigration for the USA at Canadian airports? In that case, I’d guess they could say no at the airport but you aren’t really at risk of being deported since you are still in Canada, and there are no emigration checks in American airports.
- moltar 1y agoNot simplified much. By the silly rules in the US, during the transfer you must go thru immigration and even get your bags and check them in again. Yes there’s pre clearance in Canada. This would ease the border a bit. But there’s still a risk that something somewhere will go wrong. The main reason I stoped routing thru the US 10 years ago wasn’t ICE. I didn’t like the way border agents were rude and disrespectful. I felt like I was being interrogated every time and didn’t feel welcomed there. So I decided to vote with my wallet and simply not fly thru.
- seanmcdirmid 1y agoOh, only on the inbound trip, outbound from Canada should check thru. Too bad America and Canada don’t do transfer zones like most non-Chinese airports in Asia and Europe.
