Hey guys, I'm an Iranian-born Canadian citizen planning to visit San Diego in May. With all the recent tensions between Canada and the U.S., I've heard that Iranian-born Canadians have been facing more difficulties entering the U.S. lately. Is this true? Has anyone had issues recently, or know of any changes that could affect travel. Thank you

Tip #1: unless you're a legal resident, reconsider your visit in the light of the recent detentions, strip searches, and electronic device searches. And remember these are only the high-profile cases that have made news.

Have you read what happened to the Canadian citizen who visited the US?
allgo 21d
You're flirting with some risks by visiting the US and driving a cybertruck. Hopefully you won't be affected.
minroz 21d
Rules havent changed, so no more risks today than what there was in 2024.
Room temperature IQ individuals vandalizing other peoples properties is not going to stop me from doing what I want to do. There has been about 45k Cybertrucks delivered so far, the probability of my being affected is extremely low. Besides this is what we have insurance for.

Any history? Curious what they are using as the reason
A close Polish friend that was working on a boat as a hostess and chef just got deported too. Maybe cuz of overstaying visa?

Follow the rules and you will be fine.

As this commenter says, "Customs agents can deny you entry for any real or imaginary reason. Your documentation doesn't matter."
allgo 20d
I would tell you where this advice belongs but I want to follow the rules of this channel
minroz 20d
Have the rules changed? As far as I can see nothing has actually changed.
Meaning there is no more risk today than it was in 2024 or in 2023 when I last was in the US
allgo 20d
Drawing that conclusion is fallacious. While the rules may have remained the same, their enforcement has clearly changed radically.
minroz 20d
I'm sorry, but I have to act like all rules are actively being enforced. Even tho they might not be. What is the point of having laws/rules if they are not being enforced?

So no, from my point of view nothing have changed for me or my visit to the states.
I understand that you might view it differently if you assumed a rule or law would not be enforced, but I never did. So for me nothing has changed.
But what actual immigration/visa rules did these travellers break? Every story mentioning them clearly states that there was nothing illegal about their stay. They either had a valid visa or a visa waiver and none had over stayed their visa.
allgo 20d

Well duh, but authority personel didn't just suddenly start misusing their power. That has been happening since forever. With about 200k visitors a day, you are bound to have some bad incidents, which gets reported on now, which is good.

But just because it wasent reported on before doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
atti1a 20d
iuzgbfgtc remember, visiting another country is a privilege, not a right. While there, one is under that nation's rules. As a guest, one can be removed at anytime, (like private property). Finally, insinuating the US is more corrupt than Mexico, or 90% of other countries is wrong.. maybe travel more? Or don't visit :)
allgo 20d
Who / where insinuated that?

And what other country detains visitors from the EU/UK/CA for weeks or in solitary confinement?
atti1a 20d
"roughly 95% of countries have laws allowing detention for a week or more if you break their laws"... including EU/UK/CA :)
falconb0 20d
According to the NBC article linked above:

"Two hours later, she calls me and says, โ€˜Hey, I'm going to be deported back to Germany. They think I'm coming here to work.โ€™"

So the US authorities believe they were going to work on a tourist visa. Whether what they were going to do counts as work or not, I don't know. We're mostly nomads here that work on tourist visas. We know the risk when we go to various countries. Many of us have been denied entry because of this. This isn't something that's unique to the US, although I know that the US has always been more hostile toward the idea of people working on tourist visas, even in the case of, say, a remote, foreign employer, than many other countries are.

And yes, the US can deny entry for basically no reason or any reason. I believe most countries operate like this. For example, I frequently visit Peru, and it's always been my understanding that it's up to the immigration officer to decide whether or not they let me in. But in actual practice, someone being turned down is rare. As it probably is for the US as well.
Very true. This has always been the case, nothing has changed in this regard.
This has been true for the longest time. More cases are now being reported, but not sure if the actual number of such incidents has increased or the reporting has increased.

"break their laws" in what way?

Is showing up at the border with a service exchange intent (eg. house/pet sitting vs. staying in that house, with no monetary exchange, as arranged through TrustedHouseSitters) breaking the law already?

None of these high profile cases today I can't link here but google the Forbes article (it lists 4) involve bringing any forbidden items for instance - which would be grounds for detention (maybe)

Or are you talking about committing a "crime" after you've been admitted?

Some references would clarify this.

Dude, you can be as optimistic as you want and focus on only "Mac Book Pro M4 Max searches" if you want. The reality is very different, and I've already done too much work trying to make you aware of it. Sayo-nara

Iโ€™m well aware of what the 3 letter agencies do, Iโ€™m personally very against it. But Iโ€™m not a resident so I have no say in the matter.

Reporting does not mean that itโ€™s factually correct, a report that โ€œsuggestsโ€ anything carries a large uncertainty as there is no way to know the validity of the claims.
atti1a 19d
speaks for itself. check: state.gov
minroz 19d
I hold a Norwegian passport, I have flights for a 1week stay. I have family back home, I have a conference Iโ€™m attending.

There should be very little uncertainty with my visit, if there is, itโ€™s quite evident that Iโ€™m very pro USA. And am invested finically inn several US companies.

If I somehow manage to make them suspicious about my visit, then thatโ€™s entirely my own fault. I am well aware of their rights to turn me away, and as I have said, nothing has changed for me in 2025 compared to any other year.

How is the US right now? Iโ€™ve been in Brazil a while but am considering returning to my home state (Florida) for an internship in a new field. Iโ€™ve seen some not so great stuff in the news lately but I guess thatโ€™s been the case for a few years now

Hi visiting from UK for a few months, need a US number for some 2FA texts. Whatโ€™s best/cheapest solution? ๐Ÿ™
beaucr 14d
you can be a nerd and use twilio.

not the best and easiest, but the cheapest!
How would that work?
beaucr 14d
just signup

buy a us number

and then check console messages when you get a text
jasiek 14d
tello.com
To save you some hassle here, often Twilio / Skype (rip) / other VoIP numbers wonโ€™t work for SMS 2FA, especially for banks and PayPal, it knows theyโ€™re not a normal number and will reject. Sometimes it works some of the time but if youโ€™ve got money riding on it, the headache is not worth it.
If youโ€™re physically visiting the US, then you can grab a real physical US sim when you arrive, use it for both your local number and your internet data while youโ€™re there, and then when you leave the country, the telco will likely cancel your sim unfortunately (even if you keep paying them).
If you want to keep the number long term for 2FA access when youโ€™re overseas, you can buy a cheap android phone to a US based friend and ask them for the SMS when you need it (obviously a pain)
Or you can port your number to one of my phones and Iโ€™ll keep it on and automatically forward the SMS to you via email
jasiek 13d
tello.com works beautifully over wifi as it uses regular GSM infrastructure which gets tunnelled over the internet
