yeah, exactly, IMMIGRATION. canadians are not subject to IMMIGRATION. and customs is not IMMIGRATION. customs is GOODS. so they have no right to ask imm related questions beyond identifying my citizenship. anything else, i ask them what that has to do with the bottle of martini blanc or the dirty underwear in my luggage.
