The border has been closed for many months. Where has this couple been - hiding in some cave? I have little sympathy for this situation.
Stupidity all around.
- They waited until 2 weeks before they had to renew the residency in person.
- They didn't confirm with the US boarder that they would be let in (did they check with the Mexican border?)
- Sounds like the US Border is in retribution mode over Canada's approach to border control.
- Canada Border just comes across as power mad.
I think Canada has been pretty fair. They allow Alaskans to transverse Canada to get home and possibly back to the lower 48 if necessary.
As I understand they are given a specific route to travel and a tight time line to exit at a specific border crossing typically Blaine Peace Arch crossing.
There is a related story of a US couple that stopped in Vancouver for a little vacation time, in the news story..
