Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Welfare client kept out of Canada files complaint

A mid-Michigan woman says she was denied entry into Canada because she is on welfare.
Rose Kelley of Owosso says she has filed a discrimination complaint with the Canada Border Services Agency over its refusal to let her and her two children cross the border via the Blue Water Bridge connecting Port Huron with Sarnia, Ontario.


The 25-year-old Kelley tells The Argus-Press of Owosso that she planned to visit friends and relatives when she arrived at the border May 1. She says she was told to furnish evidence of citizenship, financial support and other documentation, but was denied entry again on May 3.
Kelley says she was told she didn't make enough money and people on welfare shouldn't take vacations. [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.

LOL well it's true, why should "we" the "hard working" tax payers pay for a vacation for the people who just want to stay home, make babies, and make a living off our hard earned tax dollars.

Anyone wanna bet that most of this story is a boatload of crap?
I've never been asked anything about my finances whenever I've gone into Canada. Have you or has anyone that you know?

Patrizia Giolti, a spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency, said that there are many reasons why a person could be deemed inadmissible to cross the border under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

“Some of the reasons are for security issues. They may have ties to terrorism or organized crime. And financial reasons are another reason,” Giolti said. “A foreign national may be inadmissible for financial reasons if they will be unable to support themselves while they are here in Canada.”

She added that every case, however, is taken on its own merits.

“For privacy issues we do not discuss specific cases,” Giolti said. “I really couldn't speculate what transpired between the traveler and the officer at that time. But each case in unique, and the officer will make a decision based on the information that is presented at that time.”
