Re: Travelling the day one becomes a citizen
Quite. It was an impulse purchase in Marks and Sparks. 1lb of Stilton half price at 8 quid. The same amount would cost me $80 in Nfld!
I must admit I'd never considered brining back cheese before - automatically assuming it would be verboten. But I read a post/thread somewhere this year that indicated otherwise. It'll be something I'll be doing again.
I'm not sure where our CBSA friend works as he sensibly doesn't share that with us. (
) but I find the CBSA staff at St John's & Halifax, friendly & helpful. Some at Pearson clearly have decided to model their attitude from their colleagues at the US CBP though!

Cheese (cheddar, swiss, mozzarella) $20 total dairy
So in other words if you have more than $20 in dairy products the BSO may want to see an import permit. Its a CFIA/DFAIT rule not CBSA we just follow orders
As for sharing my location mmm I think the idea of a group of expats from this board knowing my location and pissed up on a Friday night and deciding to pay me a visit is a good enough reason not to reveal it
As for the Pearson attitude I thought that was more of the usual GTA superiority complex in general rather than a CBP one
Remember Blessed are the Cheesemakers
