According to him, what started as an innocent search for a place to relax turned into a gruelling six-hour interrogation at the US-Canada border.
Bekonaldo explained that he had travelled to Buffalo, New York, to meet a client. However, upon arrival, the client informed him that he was too early and advised him to find a place to wait.
Unfamiliar with the area, he relied on his car’s GPS to locate a resting spot. He said what he did not realise, however, was that some parts of Buffalo share a border with Canada. Before he knew it, he had crossed over.
He narrated that further trouble began when he attempted to return to the US. He mentioned how he was stopped by immigration officers, who questioned his entry into Canada and his reason for being in America.
He said his situation was made worse by the fact that he was only carrying his driver’s license and had left his passport behind. He recounted how officials subjected him to a series of intense questions about his work, his stay in the US, and his overall immigration status.
Bekonaldo described the interrogation as intense, saying it felt like he was on the verge of deportation. He noted that he eventually regained entry into the US, but the experience left him shaken.
