As I stepped up to the immigration booth, the officer asked me, "who are you visiting?" Honestly? I panicked. I've always had someone to say I was visiting... but this time I couldn't. "No one... I'm traveling alone." I replied. She asked me, "then what are you doing here?" This, I knew how to respond without panicking and told her the truth, "I start graduate school in New York next week and I wanted to travel a bit more before I started school. I've heard so many great things about Montreal so I decided to visit!" And with that, she let me through.
