I was not allowed to board a plane for the US the second last time i tried to visit about 3 years ago.
Some friends I met online, invited me down to calif for a clan get together (Quake TeamFortress clan). At the time I was a dishwasher in a fine dining restaurant making minimum wage, so these friends even covered my expenses including the plane ticket.
I went to the airport with $50 in my pocket and no credit card, and a normal amount of luggage...
I guess the US people felt i was actually going on a one way trip with no intention of returning to Canada, so they said no way. I was told I had to prove I had a 'sponsor' for my visit, had a residence in canada with a lease I had to return to, and a job.
So I went home, typed up a letter from my landlord, had a friend sign it. Then had my friends in the US fax me a letter of invitation. And typed another letter from my job and 'faked' another signature.
The next day I hopped on the plane and enjoyed my first ever visit to california!! woohoo!! It was November when I went, was soo nice to enjoy the warm tropical weather. +) Nevermind the 24 yr old woman, who had talked her husband into paying for my trip +)
