Well im staying in canada so i could continue playing online poker,. The first time i came into canada, i had zero issues, the person at airport ask me my motives and everything and zero issues. My 2nd time i took bus and when i left canada, i actually still left all my things there because i was planning to come back. Thus i was still paying rent to the place i was renting from. The thing is when i left canada last month, i left 3 months earlier b/c my friend was getting married and had to attend his wedding. So in the end, i figured i might as well leave and closed my canadian bank acct while at it. I was planning to head to mexico after i got back to the usa.
However, i have an issue where one of my accounts online, they are leaving the canadian market and i was told i have less than 30 days to withdraw my money otherwise i wouldn't get my money back. This is 1 week ago. So if i was still in canada right now, no issue because i just make a bank wire and withdraw to my bank of montreal account. My issue here is thats why i need to get to canada fast just to open a bank account again, i had asked bank of montreal when i closed my acct, if i were to come back and open another one again, would that be issue and they said no and i figured b/c of that, i might as well close it since i planned to not come back to canada at least for a very long time or not at all.
This situation now is frustrating for me b/c canada is obviously closer for me to get there than mexico and im having second thoughts about mexico. I was planning to go to rosarito beach but as you know mexico isn't exactly safe so im havnig second thoughts. Because of that, i figure i just go back to canada so i could open bank of monteral acct again then withdraw my money, while at the same time continue playing onlnie poker for a bit. My family/friends told me they would worry me a lot if i go to mexico so i figure okay i go to canada. I could go to mexico get bank acct and withdraw my funds there similar to canada. My 2 issues with this is one, safety. I know rosarito beach is generally safe however you dont know how things are until you really get there. My other issue is if i go to canada then i get denied at the border, i will probably be very worried b/c i would need to go back to the us then fly to mexico as quickly as possible and i would need to find a place there as well and open bank acct and make sure i do all this before august 22.
I assume if i explain my situation to them about needing to withdraw my money before that certain date, it would help my case a lot? The thing is when i came back the 2nd time, the border lady asked me what would i do after 3-6 months in canada and i said i leave and probably wont come back for a long time and probably head to mexico. However, i didnt know my friend was going to get married once i went back to canada so i had to cut my trip short and then i found out earlier this week i need to withdraw my funds in one of my accounts soon otherwise i would lose all of it. For most ppl in canada who have this betting account, its not an issue b/c they could just request a wire or check. Even if they were outside canada for example, they could do it b/c they have a canadian bank acct and just need to email that site.
My situation is just very strange/complicated b/c im an american who relocated to canada but i left there recently and most importantly i closed my bank account. Because had i left canada and not close my bank account let say i took all my thigns with me and didnt kept my rented place, this isn't goign to be a big issue b/c i would request a withdraw to my canadian bank acct while in the usa and email them the details. I can't withdraw my funds from them to my american bank acct because of law restrictions.
Anyone can give me some insight here? Also someone told me to call the border before i come and explain it to them on the phone. I never done that before but isn't that not possible and everything happens when you see the individual border agent you meet there?
