Border Crossing

[Spytgale1]

Hey guys,

I will be driving down from Toronto to the US, and I was just wondering if anyone knows which border crossing is the best to get your visa done, etc. at. Thanks.

My friend from a Middle Eastern country has had many problems entering the US from Ontario in the past. From his experiences, including a frank conversation between him and a US border agent, Toronto Pearson Airport's Pre-Clearance will cause the most problems (especially if you have had issues in the past). The easiest border crossing for him (and I'd agree) is the Thousand Island crossing that is about 1 hour east of Kingston (so ~3 hours drive from Toronto). Although it's very small so maybe they might not have as much experience with visas?

For me, I live in Kingston right now, but I will probably cross the border in BC, since I'll visit my hometown before moving to the US. Hope your border crossing goes smoothly too -- I've heard it's really not so bad if you have Canadian citizenship.
