To clarify one thing: The Canada Border Services Agency does adhere to the Vienna Convention and does afford foreign nationals their rights under Article 36 upon arrest or detention. A delay for Customs or Immigration examination does not constitute a detention any more than a sobriety checkpoint or the delay faced as a police officer writes up your speeding ticket.
