A Canadian permanent resident learned a hard lesson that when travelling between the United States and Canada, there is no room for error.
David Thomas, of Nova Scotia, has a British passport and has been a Canadian permanent resident for 45 years. He and his spouse, Livia Anthes, booked a flight to Las Vegas Feb. 3 to celebrate Thomas’s 50th birthday. Anthes is also a permanent resident with a valid card.
