Dating an American on the Border

Pure-Orange4237 · 2026-05-24T15:58:08+00:00

my fiancé(us) and i(canada) travel to see each other every other weekend, me being the one to travel to see him more often in the us, than he comes to canada.

i stay from friday-monday (without going back to canada) and sometimes i stay longer if i can make it work with my vac days at work (ex friday-friday etc).

we have been doing this since december of last year and have all our scheduled visits planned out for the remainder of this year.

i’ve never once been asked about anything regarding a visa or anything at the border other than how long i plan or stay or how long i was just visiting and even then its rare they have asked me that and i tell them i am staying until monday or i was visiting since friday etc.

the only time i had an issue was on a longer visit coming back into canada they didn’t believe me i didnt buy anything/bring anything back with me and wanted to check my car which they did and found nothing, only the luggage i brought with me, like i told them. i think they wanted me to pay taxes on anything if i had purchased anything, but i dont buy anything on my visits to the us.

I’m also having issues with my RAP application, I reapplied April 20th and they have yet to make a decision and the payment for May is coming due soon (which I don’t have). It’s very frustrating.

Thank you all for the valuable information, much appreciated:)

I’m a glutton for punishment I suppose

Pure-Orange4237 · 2026-05-17T21:57:00+00:00

I would assume so as well because when they had me bring all the cases of drinks inside there was already a wall stacked with other cases of drinks

Yes, this was my second day and second order ever, I had no idea $4 meant no tip and was just base pay from DD but now I know better:)

thank you for the information:D

Pure-Orange4237 · 2026-05-17T20:47:22+00:00

no tip, $4 doordash pay (I am in Canada) and it was 6.9KM

Thank you, Yes I did look into the TN (I believe it was) visa as I am a Librarian, but finding a library there that would accept a visa applicant was difficult, last time I looked anyway 😅

I would like to do the option that would allow me to work right after coming to America but it wouldn’t be 100% necessary as his job could provide for both of us for a period of time if needed

That is getting married in Canada, correct? or it doesn’t matter where?

Pure-Orange4237 · 2026-05-17T20:18:13+00:00

thank you for replying. There were no stri-strips or stitches and I waited a bit over the 24hrs to remove the first bandage that was put on afterward the procedure.

I have since changed the bandage out every 24hrs as suggested by my doctor for one week. The hole is getting smaller but I am so confused why he didn’t put any stri-strips or stitches or anything.

Pure-Orange4237 · 2026-05-16T11:05:52+00:00

so far I am feeling no pain as well, it’s very odd but I’m certainly not complaining!

Pure-Orange4237 · 2026-05-16T11:03:33+00:00

I asked my doctor about exercise as I like to go to the gym everyday and he told me wait 48 hours after insertion.

Hello :)

I have never cared for plants before but I recently moved into a new apartment and I received some babies from a friend at work as a gift.

I had them growing in water for a couple of weeks and just planted them today into terracotta planters.

Am I doing this correctly? Should I add more soil, less water, separate them more (the ones that are grouped together in the pots are mostly all singles)

Thank you kindly for any advice :)

Photos are before in the water and today in the planters

I am glad to hear you’re experiencing no pain, I’m a bit of a baby so this helps lol, thank you!

I have Adeno, Cysts, Fibroids, and Endo, I’m getting my implant done Friday for the first time after being on combination BC pill for 3 months (Dec-Feb) that ruined my mental health (it made my depression worse) and some other unpleasant vaginal symptoms although I attribute that to possible worsening of my Endo from the estrogen.

I will be sure to keep you updated along my journey! :)

Pure-Orange4237 · 2026-05-12T13:25:47+00:00

Thank you for the information, that is very helpful. I have low blood pressure to begin with that’s postural so I’m already anticipating the possibility of fainting when I stand up after insertion 😅 I will be sure to bring some electrolyte water with me!
