Passport Req..
02AUG12
hi, Guys, after received passport back from Seattle office on 21AUG12, we went to flagpole on 22AUG12 last night. As I think there would be less people in the border at night, so I went to there after work.

I live in Vancouver, so drove to Doughlas (Peace Arch) border to flagpole. Before we(my wife and me)go, I research some topic about flagpole online, some ppl said we should go via the very left line, then tell the officer we are about to flagpole, the office gave us a orange paper then guide us to turn left, then park the car and go inside the buiding and line up in lineA.

When we came into the buiding, there was very less people there waiting in line, maybe its not the busy hour. Soon one of them served us, they see our passports, then asked us to get into our cars, they removed the blockers in front of the way back to Canada, then gave me a white paper and asked me to show the paper to the Canadian office. Then we drive back way to Canada custom.

There was a line up there, so we waited for about 15 mins. The Canadian officer was so nice, asked us to park the car on the left handside in front of the buiding, then get into it and line up.

The Canadian costoms is really so nice to us, smile and warm greeting to us, then asked us some simple questions liked : what's the status when you were in Canada?Where do you live? and so on. But they didn't ask for proof of settlement funds. After 10 mins wait, all the procedures were finished, then the officer sai :" now your are permanent resident of Canada, Have good night".

The whole processing time is 1 hour , then finish our landing experience, that's really very fast.
 
We did our landing on late Friday July 1st 2016 (Canada Day) at Coutts Canada and Montana USA border- the American officials - were really nice. I had to go inside the USA office though. they gave me a paper stating that my "refused admission" reason was flag-pole. Went back to the Canadian side and did our landing. And once again, the Canadian officials - were really nice too. The officer came out the parking and took a selfie with my family!! Better impossible.

Preliminary actions:
We came by road from Fort McMurray to Coutts 1000km two stops Edmonton and Lethbridge.
We were honest with USA officer as saying our intention of Landing -Flagpole.
We had all family USA Visas
Even receiving a "refused admission" the USA officer explain that it was a protocol and encourage us to visit USA any time in the future as we will be welcome to his Country.

The two USA officer and one Canadian all three were friendly and supportives
