I always find other country's immigration, including the US, WAY easier than Canadian, even though I'm a Canadian citizen.
True. Also in my experience, Canadian immigration ALWAYS gives me the third degree just when I am visiting for a week. I have had to show proof of onward tickets, my job, the friends I was visiting, complete itinerary, hotel reservations and all the rest of it. The US is a hit-or-miss with a third degree half of the time and a friendly "business or tourist" the other 50%. In ALL other 60+ countries that I have visited I have never been asked a single question!
