    I think we need a thread for pleasant border encounters

    I am always reading the border crossing ones after my traumatic experience at Emerson/Pembina so it is nice to see that there are IO's out there that understand we just want to visit and do things the right way. I noticed that the Niagra one is pretty friendly. I had no problems crossing at...

    2 ? regarding dependents

    I was just granted sole custody of my two children. Will I still need an order of mobility from the US courts since I am awarded sole legal and physical custody? Also will I need to get passports for them during the immigration process since we can just cross with birth certificates for now?
