Zool Suleman: Wait it out, say immigration lawyer to Canadian dual citizens, travellers

Immigration experts are warning caution and patience for confused Canadians hoping to cross the U.S. border since Donald Trump imposed a travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries.

“Is it vital that you have to be in the U.S. for business or, say, family reasons?” says Canadian immigration lawyer Zool Suleman.

“We have to be very cautious now and wait until things clear,” the Vancouver lawyer told Yahoo Canada News.

“It is chaos at the borders and at the airports. I wouldn’t go if it wasn’t essential for me to be there,” said Suleman, who has been an immigration lawyer since 1992.
