I don't know what was actually said because I wasn't there..
But the immigration officers gave her a piece of paper stating their reasons for sending her back..
1. She only had $300 on her person.
2. That I was unemployed.
3. That me and her communicated via a translator.
Thats all I can remember.
The reason I say that there was a communication problem is because..
1. she works for the Canadian government.
2. When they kept her overnight for flying back the next day, they logged her belonging and on one piece of paper it clearly said she had over one thousand pounds on her person. (they had checked her purse but didn't bother to ask her if she had any other money on her person).
3.They assumed I was unemployed and sponging off the system and living in a council house. ( I asked the officer to give me his name.. he did not). ( well I am sponging off the system.
but not in a council house. .)
She told me later that the Officer who spoke to her didn't understand her and she didn't understand him.
This whole eposode cost us both alot of distress and money. We explained our situation to the British consulate in Ottowa.. after paying their fees.. she was immediately issued with a 6 months visa.
