3) What is a BSO? If you're talking about CBPOs, we're on Official passports. There's no reason for us to have a Diplomatic passport. We're not Diplomats.
4) Yes, we go through Canada's immigration. We can't just walk in.
5) We have a team for that. The airline would let us know.
(2) I was trying to reference every morning when going to work. Do CBP Agents have to be cleared through by other agents to come to work in the morning? I would assume no.
(3) CBSA refers to Agents as Border Services Officers (BSO). Sorry, I assumed because of NEXUS, pre-clearance and the close relationship that the terms used would be similar.
(4) So every evening after finishing, one has to go through CBSA? Sounds like a pain but cool at the same time.
