Flying into Canada

[whatsinaname0]

I have my H1 stamping interview scheduled for the 30th of January, 2006. I was debating whether to fly in or drive in. If I fly in and for some reason am denied entry at the Canadian POE (some Canadian airport) then I am not sure if I will be allowed re-entry into the US as I dont have my H1 stamped.

For those of you who flew into Canada, did you consider this scenario?

If I drive in, I would still be in US territory so even if entry into Canada is refused I should be safe.

Not true. it is the same for both the modes of transpsortation.
I mean, come on, how can canadian POE be located in the US territory whether you drive or fly?
a good question though as to what would happen to someone who lands into such a situation. I guess they will be asked to find a way to their country of permanent residence.
This situation is not different from someone who seeks entry into any country at the POE. the officer may reject their application for entry for whatever reason. and they will be sent back to their home country. If they have a retur n ticket, they will be asked to use it (had happened to somebody trying to enter US with B1 visa when their visa should have been H1b). if not, they will be asked to purchase it.
if they don't have money, they will be most probably left to the mercy of their home country's consulate.

OK. the way I see border crossings via road is that you will have something similar to toll booths where all the area before the toll booth is US territory and the area after the toll booth Canadian territory. So if you get denied at the toll booth, you just turn back right?

Now if during that turn back, you have to go through US customs again then you are screwed. Else, what should be the problem in simply turning back?

The scenario is quite different in case of flying or crossing by ferry where the POE would have to be on solid ground in Canadian territory. So you are well outside US territory by the time you reach the POE.

Anyone who can shed some more light on this matter?
