I'm a U.S. citizen thinking about making a trip to Montreal in November for a weekend. The last time I went to Montreal, I got flagged by immigration, got my bag searched and got asked a bunch of invasive questions about what I was doing, was I planning to use an escort or go to strip clubs, etc. That was around 5 years ago. I haven't been to Canada since, largely impart due to my treatment the last time I came in. Is there anyway I can mitigate my contact with immigration and come in with out being asked too many questions? Was thinking about taking the train into Canada instead of plane, for example; in hopes they'll just briefly ask for my passport and let me go for the sake of keeping everything moving along.
Some things to know about me:
Not smuggling anything; so it's not like I'm carrying a bunch of sex toys and condoms. I don't even keep porn on my computer. If they search me, they won't find anything.
I'm traveling alone.
I have no friends currently living in Canada.
I've been to Montreal before, this would be my 3rd or 4th time.
Outside of the invasive questions incident; haven't had trouble with the authorities on either side of the border otherwise.
Any advice? Not sure what my rights are exactly, being a visitor from the U.S. Obviously I don't want to tell them I'm coming into Canada to have a few beers and hit the strip clubs. Or should I just forget about going to Montreal?
