Hi
Hoping someone might be able to give me some advice
I Last year I refused entry to Australia. at first they questioned me on my my previous visa stamps from holidays and then they thought i had drugs on me then when didn't find any they said they believed that i was going to work there and cancelled my visa and put me on the next flight back
they asked numerous stupid questions wanting know about my dogs back home ( which they saw on my iPad) asked how could i be british with dark skin :'( My mother is from the Dominican Republic ) but i was born and brought up in England for the past 39 years
They asked about the many stamps that i had in my passport from thailand mexico domincan republic turkey ect but my passport was 9 years old so no reason not to have lots of stamps over the years
I had a tourist visa that was correct and it was my second holiday to Australia
Im a british woman age 39 born in the uk with full british passport ,I had more than enough money on my credit cards to support me over £15,000 sterling for 6 weeks travel
What i would like to know is how would this refusal of entry to Australia affect me if I wanted to have a holiday in Canada at some point as my niece and i were planning a 2 -3 week holiday in canada later this year
I own my own house in the uk and 2 others that i own with my husband and we rent out I'm self employed have a son and husband in the uk . So i have plenty of ties to the uk Im not going to overstay or try to work as i have money to support myself when on holiday .
I know that I'm not required to get a visa as i am from the uk and have a british passport and dont need to apply for a visa to go to canada and i have a new Epassport as my old one only had a year left in it
Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated
thanks
