Canadians Working in the U S May Cross Border at Will
The United States circuit court of appeals ruled that Canadian residents may cross the border daily to work in the United States without immigration restraints. The decision, based on the 1794 Jay Treaty, holds such cross border activity as part of a broad business purpose, though the ruling notes temporary entries and non permanent intent. The opinion, by Judge Manion, followed appeals by Niagara Falls residents detained in Buffalo for daily employment.
