Update

I haven't posted in sometime so I thought it prudent to give you an update on my situation. In the last post I mentioned about an expectation of delays at Person. It appears this secondary screening now happens at most Airport border crossings. Whether you are subjected to it or not seems to be up to the official. It can be rather embarrassing if you are traveling with friends or colleagues because they'll move you to that secondary room and if busy - will keep you there until just prior to your flight.

ALWAYS make sure you are there well before your departure. I now give myself at least 2 hours prior to my flight. If I have a connection, I always make sure there is plenty of times. I've seen on a few occasions people in the secondary screening rooms actually miss their flights.

I've made approximately 12 crossings since my last post. I travel down to the US often for work. So much so that a lot of the officers actually know me by face now. This can help particularly if you show respect and you are prepared with you papers and are cordial. At the end of this month I'll be making my first crossing for personal reasons. My wife and kids are planning a holiday in the southern US states. I'll post about my experience at that time.

I get a lot of personal messages regarding application wait times. If you have recently received your waiver I would be interested in how long the process took for you. You can message me privately or in response to this post. Thanks and good luck.
