Canadian requesting FOIA at border...who do I contact?

[shockedcanadian]

Hello all,

I have an ongoing saga with the Canadian government, in effect, multiple years of trying to clear my name for the persecution I experienced (search for my posting "Why Canada Can't Be Trusted" in Foreign Affairs and National Security for more info.), I was held at the U.S border a couple of years ago and taken into secondary search; even though they didn't search us per se, they simply held us while they appeared to get some clearance from the Canadian side. I was with my wife at the time and when I asked the U.S agent in a non threatening manner if there was a problem, I was told "not with us, but you might want to speak to your government"

It is apparent that this holding was due to the constant lies that the Canadian authorities have been espousing about me. I don't have a police record, nor any charges laid against me; yet, I am receiving delays from the U.S border in receiving the information as to the holding. Now this has nothing to do with America, they have a right to protect their citizens and as such should be doing so; this is entirely the result of the faulty lies being spread by the Canadian Intelligence Agents (I use the word intelligence loosely here) in their efforts to continue to assassinate my character.

My question here is, what can I do to ensure that I receive these files in a timely manner? To this point I have received an acknowledgement and an "in progress" update (which is really the default). It has been more than double the anticipated time and I am concerned obviously that they might be trying to delay for the benefit of the CSIS and the RCMP, who were the one;'s most active in destroying my life to protect their own.

Does anyone know? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have sent a couple of emails to the DHS and the border without a response from them.

Regards.

1. I'm going to be honest with you and say...

...you're story here makes you sound paranoid. I'm not saying you are just that there is a tone of it in your story.
As far as suggestions I think you should get an attorney, possibly one who is familiar with immigration would be the best match.

2. Paranoid isn't the right word...diligent is more appropriate...

When you have experienced what I have experienced over the last decade+ you would understand my concerns. The fact that the U.S Border agent told my wife and I that the U.S didn't have a problem with me but I should contact my government was as much clarity as I have received that there is information provided by the Canadian side which is causing these issues (not a surprise to me). You live in the U.S, a country with much broader rights and accountability mechanisms than Canada so it might be difficult to understand as we live in two very different systems.

Getting a lawyer at this point is premature, I am looking for particular contacts in the U.S who might be able to address issues that foreign born citizens might have with any delays or lack of information being provided.

Thanks.
