I did have one interesting crossing going to Thunder bay. Evidently we came during shift change. They had us pull over to the inspection area and no one ever came out. After about 20 min we went inside to ask what was going on. The people inside thought we had already been inspected from the prior shift. They apologized and inspected the vehicle and sent us on our way.
Funny, I had a similar but funnier (IMHO) version of that same story.
Crossing into Sarnia ON from Port Huron MI coming back from Oshkosh WI and by the time I hit the border at about midnight I was exhausted so I wasn’t upset when they sent me into secondary, the instructors were “park over there and stay in the vehicle and someone will come out to you’.
Around 6am there was a knock at the door which woke me up. I answered the door and a border agent told me I shouldn’t be parked there. I explained I was still waiting for inspection and must have dozed off.
I presented my paperwork and the “inspection” took all of about 5 seconds.
