Jan 25, 2022 at 12:09 comment added Augustine of Hippo @FranckDernoncourt It varies case by case. I’ve seen episodes where the supervisor exercised that discretion because the traveler was very polite, or had great persuasive skills etc. Ultimately it’s largely out of your control and dependent on their mood, previous adherence to immigration rules etc.
Jan 25, 2022 at 11:19 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @AugustineofHippo in border patrol, do they explain how the immigration supervisor makes the decision?
Jan 25, 2022 at 8:34 comment added Augustine of Hippo @littleadv That’s correct. It’s the immigration supervisor at the border post. You can confirm that by watching an episode of Border Patrol. The Minister doesn’t even hear about it, heck it doesn’t get to even his secretary’s desk. 😁
Jan 25, 2022 at 5:53 comment added littleadv @FranckDernoncourt I suspect the "Minister" is in fact a delegated authority to some kind of mid-level bureaucrat. In the US that would be a regional CBP district Director, I'm guessing in Canada it would be something similar.
Jan 25, 2022 at 5:52 comment added Franck Dernoncourt Great, thanks for the information! I wonder how the Minister makes their decision (tossing a coin vs. some objective criteria and if so, which ones).
