Hi All,

I am planning to do my landing at Prescott Bridge and planning to take U-Turn just before entering the bridge.
This will save 1-2 hours of time and also dealing with rude US agents.

has anybody did that before?
Could you share your experience? Does Prescott bridge Immigration agents mandatorily ask for administrative refusal from US inorder to complete landing?

Or as you suggested , Just part at the parking space just before this U- Turn?


thanks a lot for your response. Gives me more confidence to attempt it.

I landed at this bridge recently and I would not recommend doing the landing without going past the US agents - the agent on the US side said specifically that the Canadian officer looks for the Administrative Refusal form so it's safer to just cross the border and turn back. All the officers on both sides were very helpful and friendly so I don't think you'll have any trouble.

Good bridge, but be careful not doing the U-turn at over 50kmh - officers on both ends get really nervous... ;)

I can't find where this was answered elsewhere - does the 'administrative refusal' affect future travel to the US?

No it does not. Many people have posted about this, and done it. I've done it yesterday as well. From What I know you have to go to the US side and get denied entry, but I could be wrong.

See my Prescott landing experience at http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/landing-from-ottawa-prescott-t192873.0.html

And my recommendation is not to do the U turn. I was explicitly asked if I am comming from the US side.
