@Magnus

I have to think possibly July, but its just a guess.

The problem with Airports is that its a confined space, and I am sure Port Directors will use that to avoid having to do them as long as possible.

@J Rogers

Any inkling on when you think they’re going to accept waiver applications at POEs (airports)?

UPDATE

I have been finishing a lot of waivers online, and sending clients to make appointments at the border, and so far, excellent results. Most of these clients are "slam dunk" waivers, but I have a couple of very tough ones coming up. Ill let you know soon:

1. Speed of the results
2. Ill try and print out the actual eSafe dates so everyone ca see what is typical
3. As the cases get more varied hopefully I will have some new information on how they are being adjudicated. After all, it doesn't matter what they SAY, its all about the RESULTS.

I am bumping this back up to the top. People need to know that they can file waivers again.

Also, a tidbit of info. The US and Canada are haggling over opening the border again, and Canada only wants people who are vaccinated. So the US may have this requirement as well. So if you are an "anti-vaxx" type, you may be restricted from travelling anyways.

Earliest border opening? Probably July. At best. Remember, you can file NOW in Ontario using eSAFE. Its VERY fast

@Ken "technically they have to take paper packets".

Why is that? That they "have to"? You went off the deep end about people doing a Port Parole, but your TELLING people that Homeland Security HAS to do something?

Show us the proof.

Yes, we have already previously mentioned Niagara and the particulars regarding whom to call and set up an appointment. Some of our people have already used this border. Also, technically they have to accept paper packets. However, it may be easier for people here to do the esafe since it is not good to get into a shouting match with hese guys.

Getting appointments has been easy, and clients are telling me getting back to Canada is not a problem when they go to do their fingerprints at the border.

Niagara Falls seems to be the best place so far (anecdotally)

This topic should be at the TOP of the list. Many people are not aware you can NOW FILE YOUR WAIVER.

Ken, lets keep this at the top, and all your videos etc just below it. Its important that people who are desperate to get their waiver handed in, know they can now do it.

Any updated word on whether any POEs out west are taking waiver applications via eSAFE or otherwise?

@Hurricane

I am not surprised it is not everywhere.

Buffalo is, and I have been told Detroit is, although my clients will be avoiding Detroit.

We talked to the ogdensburg border , south of Ottawa and we’re told that they are not excepting wavers yet

Again, for those that missed it.

Non essential Waivers being accepted in Ontario at the border, as far as we know, by eSafe only.

@Rex

Thank you for clarifying. I find the "non" eSafe are only about 60 days or less. You shouldn't have to wait too long.

@J Rogers yes I called the number you gave earlier talked to immigration she told me no appointment for essential ships crew they were able to take me due to the fact my time in Port of Hamilton was short did not use esafe they were not sure how long for paper applications was told esafe is quicker please note I didn't use esafe as I do not have a computer on board

@Rex

So just to clear up any confusion,

-you are an essential worker
-you did not need an appointment? (because essential)
- and they took a paper application? It didn't have to be eSafe?

And this was all at the Rainbow Bridge?

Just got back from rainbow bridge handed in my paper waiver renewal had no problem just walked in as I was told by immigration essential worker don’t need appointment no long wait either whoever this ken fellow is he is wrong that walk ins are not allowed his source is wrong now just wait for my waiver try rainbow bridge if you need waiver they are quick and pleasant to deal with

@Judy

I don't know about other border crossing near Ottawa to be honest. Ottawa Airport absolutely not. (yet) But you might find it is worth the drive to the other borders.

So here is my question to whoever can answer:
I have a 5 year waiver that will expire shortly. Can I renew it (esafe) at a border crossing near Ottawa?? It would be for non essential travel, when things get back to normal.

@Ken "zoom" Scott

You keep making shows.

My clients are handing in Waivers.

@ Magnus The Niagara border told me earlier that it is currently a policy for the Eastern borders at the moment. You can also call them at 716 843-8521 but they said that they take both paper and e-safe.

@ John Well, you claim to have "evidence" but all waiver providers have evidence of preparing a waiver packet. We have lockers of recent "evidence" but it is nothing to brag or broadcast since the US Entry Waivers give people the authority to temporarily visit the USA. I understand why you are upset that we did not post it. However, I have often said that certain things we do not post since DWcs are always seeking ways to increase their business. You just tried to do it by presenting your "discovery." You also still have the fixation with England for some reason.

However, you can hear the show and can perhaps educate yourself. Also, let's not talk about manure since everyone here already knows that you are and have repeatedly been proven to be full of it.
