I had no problems with Canadian screening when I told them I was on a mileage run.
Now American pre-clearance on the way back is a totally different story. Saskatoon does not have pre-clearance, though, so perhaps things have changed. |

At least you'll be near civilization. I'm on a south-eastern romp through MLU (via JAN), CLT, and RDU next week...

US preclearance people were always very friendly. Arriving in Canada has always been hell for me. I tent to avoid the country because of the hassle required to get in.

The second time was in '99 and I was driving in the presidential motorcade. That was a phenomenally amazing experience. I actually drove out on to the tarmac and more or less under the wing of the plane to let out the white house photographer, a couple other aides and some Secret Service agents. And I got to shake Clinton's hand. Surprisingly tall man.

I have seen it on two occasions, both at EWR. The first time it landed while I was traveling in '97 and completely hosed the schedules for the rest of the afternoon.
