Well the first thing I noticed is at least they say please and thank you.

I understand your theory on Ukraine sitting area - but I think there is a good reason for that. The country is at war with Russia - how many Russians who hate Canada would use a Ukrainian passport to enter the country. Also - because Ukraine has a special arrangement to help their people during war - they are being handled different at the airport in order to make sure they are processed more completely with immigration.

Ukrainians arriving in Canada through the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) pathway are eligible for a one-time payment from the Canadian government. The financial assistance is a direct deposit, one-time, non-taxable benefit payment of $3,000 per adult and $1,500 per child (age 17 and under

Now - as for what happened to you - CBSA officers can detain a foreign national or permanent resident at a port of entry if: it is necessary to complete an examination. there are reasons to believe that the person is inadmissible on grounds of security, violating human or international rights, serious criminality, criminality or organized criminality

You're stating that it was because of your color yet millions of color make it through without a problem - so there was something about you they found suspicious. I'm surprised they didn't give a reason why you were detained much less sent back. There had to be a reason that you're not saying.

Can Canada deny entry to a Canadian citizen?

Reasons for denied entry may include past criminal offences, health risks to Canadian citizens or permanent residents, lack of financial resources or inconsistent documentation presented at the border.

There are several possible reasons for a Canadian to be denied entry to the United States of America: Criminal Inadmissibility - If you have ever been convicted of a crime in Canada or abroad, even if it was 20+ years ago, you risk being denied entry to USA.

Now the question is - did they take away your passport? deny you reentry?

In rare circumstances such as serious criminality, even a Canadian Permanent Resident Card (Canada PR Card) holder could be deported or refused entry at the border. If you have been denied entry to Canada, it may be possible to obtain the notes of your border denial from the Government.

The point is they simply do not and can not just put you back on a plane - you have to have gotten papers with an explanation as to why. Did you remove your passport - then again they have to give you a reason on paper.

Again this isn't a race issue since Canada and Toronto airport allows millions in per month who have different skin tone and they flow through nicely. So what was their reason?

oh and btw - not sure what it's like in Thunder Bay - but where I am at - delivery drivers adn those working in the service industry are a balance of white and black. I order from Skip many times among other places and actually it's more white people delivering.

If there is prejudice it's more towards iindian status but that is slowly changing. Our whole community is multi-cultural - and guess what - "whitey" doesn't care. Everyone works together - even my eldest works alongside many cultural diverse people - and at school - all my kids have friends from different races.

So did you get paperwork stating why?
Did you get your passport back and refued entry any time?
