BREAKING NEWS - BC BORDERS ARE ACCEPTING WAIVER PACKETS FROM EVERYONE

That's great news for people in the west coast.

I assume mid-western Airports/Locations should follow soon?

"Based on our special powers"....you openly pretend "only we can get September Letters" "only we do this or that"

I simply announced Ontario was taking eSafe applications.

This is great for BC based providers. Does this mean your only obstacle Ken is somehow trying to get back to Canada? Or will you help clients "virtually"?

I only ask because there is a big groundswell here in Canada to "buy local". Your not local.

@Ken

So you have a Surrey location? Where is it? You don't list an address, just a mailbox.

BC is now opening almost fully. I notice you don't mention that, or all the gang violence in Surrey that's all over the Canadian news...or even which shot you got.

Because your not a Canadian Citizen, and you no longer live in Canada and haven't for some time.

Right?

Buy local, people. Ken is not local.

Ken, I notice your videos never make it to even 50 views. Where are all the lawyers and law enforcement people you supposedly trained?

Less than 50 views is a sad and pathetic response.

Hi,

So happy to hear that Ontario is accepting eSafe applications for everyone. Here is what is happening out West.

Edmonton International Airport - US Customs is not answering their phone. I have tried for days to get through, I will not send anyone there until I know what is happening.

Calgary International Airport - Officer Wagner? (was hard to understand him) advised that they are not fingerprinting anyone as "all International Airports are no longer fingerprinting people for biometrics) An individual must attend another land border - no airports. He also said that only "essential workers still".

Regway, MT POE is not accepting eSafe or essential workers applications period.

North Portal, ND POE will accept essential workers only - not sure about e-Safe appointments yet.

Vancouver International Airport - I have called for several days - unable to speak to a person - their phone message tell you to contact USA Consulate.

I did not call Peace Arch - as Ken has already advised.

It really seems to be all over the map right now, especially out this way.

Thanks!

@Mangus, the waiver package must include an RCMP criminal record check by fingerprints as part of the application. The fingerprinting this required is the FBI card that is done by US Custom officer. This is required if you attend in person or submit by e-safe and are given a fingerprint appointment. I fingerprint on the FBI cards all the time, and have tried submitting them in my client's package, to bypass this step, but so far, US Customs has not accepted them. I hope this helps answer your question.

Update: I contacted this department, after 2 hours on hold, spoke to a human, who told me that the entire E-Safe program is on hold due to COVID - which we know is not true. I advised that this is not the case and some POE in Canada are accepting paperwork and that e-Safe is available. She was unable to help me further and advised me to email ARO department. So basically, no help from their Washington office.

Apparently on May 25th Immigration Lawyers were notified that Homeland Security was once again doing biometrics at the border. A friend sent this to me and it was posted on some site about immigration pertaining to e-Safe.

@Gaffer, you should check with Canada Customs that you will be going through. At Canada Customs North Portal, they let 1 truck driver return to Canada - no quarantine, the other truck driver - 2 weeks quarantine, even though Truck Drivers are exempt from the quarantine. It seems this is as random as the accepting paperwork. Again, I can only advise what is happening here.

@Gaffer..in both cases I mentioned..drivers just dropped off waiver applications and returned to Canada..

@Gaffer..yes

Let me explain for Ken who has NOT HAD A SINGLE CLIENT recently, so would have no way of knowing.

We figured out how to beat the quarantine. You simply say you handed your packet to Homeland Security and didn't get out of your car.

Works like a charm. You see, you have to have ACTAUL clients handing things in and getting waivers to KNOW how to handle these things. Ken is in England, working some other job (in case you were wondering that's why he is only around sporadically) Why does he post so infrequently? We think he has to use an internet cafe actually.

I think he would make a good bellhop actually. Maybe we will see a YouTube video of it in his little uniform.
