NB: You need to be confident and look the officer in the eye.
– An officer may ask to look at your phone and they are allowed to do so. Make sure you did not discuss anything on your WhatsApp, Telegram chats etc. that could be seen as a potential violation of Canada’s immigration policies.
– I don’t think an officer would ask if you had travel insurance, but they may ask what you are planning to do while you are in Canada.
