On the landing card in Toronto I wrote consultant as my occupation. You would have thought I wrote International Terrorist. The goons there escorted the two other gentleman I was traveling with and I to a private room where we were grilled at length about the purpose of our one day trip. A long monologue that sounded similar to the riot act but was actually about NAFTA then ensued for several minutes. Subsequently, we were accused of stealing jobs from hardworking Canadians. As a result I now wear my green visor and write accountant on the declaration.</font>
Interesting ... I always write "consultant" on my landing forms, because that's what I really do for a living. I've never been hassled about it or, for that matter, hassled about entering any country for any reason.
However, I'm considering a(nother) career change this fall, after which I'll write "professor." Has anyone had any negative experiences with that one?
