An American citizen has plead guilty for misrepresentation at the Canada-U.S. border. The man had stated that he was seeking entry in order to carry out essential work, when in reality, he wanted to visit his girlfriend who lives in Canada.
The man, Lyell Sullivan Buttermore, looked to enter Canada through the Lansdowne port of entry, and submitted an employment letter as proof to his claim.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers noticed inconsistencies with the employment letter, and upon further questioning, deduced that Buttermore forged the document and was in fact seeking entry to visit his girlfriend.
