I'm still curious to know how people get "stuck at the border".

I'm honestly asking (I haven't dealt with customs in *years* myself).

BT has been to Canada plenty of times before...so what's the deal? Don't people ensure that they have all the necessary docs and whatever in order to clear customs?

How the hell do you suddenly not get let into the country? (barring things like having a criminal record, which I presume he does not have?)

Probably because BT was not stuck at the border. Read up.

My bro is a customs and immigration officer for canada Border Services.. you can not be let in the country for pretty much any reason they wan't.. if you're not a citizen then you have no right to be let into the country. That being said.. if your papers are in order.. you have the recomendation from HRDC to process the work permit and have no criminal record.. you probably won't have any issues.

RE: BT... he never even boarded a plane to come to toronto... let alone made it to a point of entry.

Massive attack weren't allowed in to headline the V Festival because one of their staff didn't sort the paperwork properly....

Originally posted by Orko I agree, considering Sasha & Digweed did a huge delta heavy tour in the US, played a tonne of small cities and never came to Toronto?

I guess you missed Toronto on the list then. In the Delta Heavy DVD, Sasha and Digweed singled out Toronto with a few other cities as being the best nights of the whole tour.

actually the problem was with their papers for the US if I recall correctly. The Visas for the US were not issued in time for the start of the tour. Montreal and Toronto were the first two stops on the tour which were cancelled along with two US dates. So rather then cancell the first two US dates and hang out in Canada for a few days before resuming the tour, they cancelled the Canadian dates as well.

that is fucking weak...

I hope everyone here remembers that the next time he is booked or releases a CD.

I love how people are just making assumptions based on nothing.


I am going to order This Binary Universe just to spite everyone.


And because it's an incredible album.
