>>63996Hi, i'm an immigration officer for the Canadian Government
For realz?
Can I ask for some help with a small problem? Many years ago I lost a passport (young, reckless, tempting fate, etc). Now I have a new passport, but every time I cross the canadaian border, I have to spend about ten minutes in that special room where nobody wants to go. You see, another american with my name has a criminal record and has been turned back at the border several times.
Now the weird part is, he's got a different middle initial, different birthdate, and different SSN than I do. So I don't know if this guy's using my old passport (prolly expired by now, thank gd), or if it's just a sheer coincidence that he has my first and last name and was born in the same decade as I was.
Is there a particular office I should call or send a letter to? I'm glad it's just a small inconvenience rather than some tragic ordeal. But it would be better still to just breeze through like everyone else.
What's the trick to getting this cleared up?
Thanks
