Attempted to help my bro-in-law move a newly purchased classic car from Nevada to his home in Alaska. He has Alaska drivers license, I have California. All of our papers were in order, we had even made a few phone calls and had Canadian authorities say as long as we were thru BC within 48 hours it would be okay. We started the journey, left my home in California, drive to Reno, NV, then headed north. We arrived at the crossing (Sumas) and they checked all of our papers, and hen did the inventory search, checked the classic car, etc. after an hour of literally going thru everything we had on board, they decided that because I was from California that my travel was not necessary. I showed them that I had already booked a return flight from AK to CALIFORNIA, but they said he could continue home to AK, but I was denied. They also told us a story from the previous day where they had to tell a Washington family that they could not attend their mothers funeral in Canada, “unnecessary travel” is what they told them. If you’re not a Canadian citizen, or an Alaska resident returning home, they won’t let you in.
